“The Tempest” has a special, unique position among the 37 plays written by Shakespeare. This is the most complex and multifaceted work of the plays created at the end of Shakespeare’s writings in 1611. In “The Tempest” Shakespeare reflected one of the biggest historical events of his era: the policy of colonial expansion.
By its style and general character the play belongs to the genre of tragicomedy, “Storm” certainly applies to the last period of Shakespeare, as his works “Pericles”, “Tsimbelin” and “Winter’s Tale”. It is known that the “Storm” was presented by Shakespeare’s troupe of the court theater on Nov. 1, 1611. Throughout probability, this was the first staging of the play, which was written shortly before. In May 1613 “Storm” again was performed at court during the festivities on the occasion of the marriage of James I’s daughter Princess Elizabeth and Palatine Friedrich. While we don’t know much about other early productions of this play, but judging by the number of mentions of by critics, we can assume that the play was a success.( Herbert Coursen, 2000)
“The Tempest” is a crowning creation of synthetic tragicomedy genre – a tragedy with a happy end”. In the play again meet specific motives of recent works of Shakespeare. Yes, “The Tempest” first shows generalized image of the universe covered by spontaneous movement. Instability convey a sense of play to which the collapse of the traditional Renaissance philosophy leads.(Christine Dymkowski, 2000)
Shakespeare in the drama tends to combine different spheres of life, create a universal picture of the world, tending to a reasonable device and favorable time-resolving of all conflicts. The major place take elements of nature, and especially the vast sea space, may be as in many other Shakespeare’s plays. This nature in all its mysterious power constantly presents background, which is accompanied by reversal of the story and gives it an epic nature, as in the greatest creations of mythology.
Shakespeare has fully expressed the main ideas and socio-political view of his time, that was the time of Renaissance. The illusion of humanists were bound to dissipate, bourgeois “freedom” to which they had pinned such hopes, turned a new more brutal form of exploitation of man by man. And the subject of criticism of humanists became not so much the vices of feudalism, as the cruelty of the new capitalist system. Humanists with anger criticized “hard times” that had not fulfilled their promises, and that was the reason of the crisis of humanism, which was observed in England at the end of XVI century. Such were the contradictions and social status of humanistic thought in England in the time when Shakespeare created his “The tempest”.
