Question

Who is the most moral person in tempest ?

Answer 1

You are,

Answer 2

Okay so if we are trying to find someone moral we cross out the villains Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio, which leaves us with Ferdinand, Gonzalo, Miranda, Ariel, and Prospero

Answer 3

Then I would thing that Ariel and Prospero are both a bit cruel to Caliban and therefore cannot be the most moral character in the play..but that's just me.

Answer 4

Do you have any ideas from here?

Answer 5

(and of course you can argue in Prospero's favor because he is forgiving and takes responsibility for his actions w/ Caliban in the end of the play)

Answer 6

Thank you from answering. I would see the most moral person would be Prospero. However, like you said most of the characters aren't moral.

Answer 7

And then you have Ferdinand and Miranda who are just too in love to think straight so I don't know if ANY of their actions can be taken with more than a grain of salt.

Answer 8

So I think arguing Prospero is a good angle just support it :)
