Speeches in The Tempest versus As You Like It :: William Shakespeare

The discourses conveyed by Prospero and Jacques each hold broad differentiating contrasts. Both Prospero, the stormy hero in The Tempest, and Jacques, a minor despairing character in As You Like It, see things in a disparate light. They have experienced things in their lives that have formed their musings and sentiments on specific themes. Prospero and Jacques’ show this in their states of mind and afterward in the subjects of which they talk. By seeing the differentiating objects in Prospero and Jacques’ discourses, we find that they are very extraordinary in character. Things that have occurred, to both Prospero and Jacques, have affected their mind-sets. Before Prospero conveys his discourse, he finds that Miranda and Ferdinand are enamored and announces joyfully, â€Å"It goes on, I see, as my spirit prompts it† (Act 1 scene 2, (424-425). At that point happily includes, â€Å"So happy of this as they I can't be, who are astounded withal. In any case, my rejoicing† (Act 3 scene 1, (95-97). Jacques, then again, when hearing Duke Senior state, â€Å"Thou seest we are not in solitude unhappy† (Act 2 scene 7, (138-141) transparently opposes this idea. He at that point declares, â€Å"to express my real thoughts, and I will completely purify the foul body th’ tainted world, on the off chance that they will persistently get my medicine† (Act 2 scene 7, (138-141). His perspective on the word appears to harm his psyche bringing about his depressed state of mind. The occasions that happened to Prospero and Jacques discove r a spot in their contemplations and are liable for changing their perspectives. The attitude of Prospero and Jacques’s discourses vary seeing as Prospero’s gives indications of joy while Jacques’ just shows a discouraging tint. Prospero demonstrates an upbeat tint to his discourse to be specific when he says â€Å"Be merry, sir. Our revels presently are ended† (Act4 scene1, (147-148). Jacques, contrastingly, shows his ever-present despairing character by saying words that have negative tones, for example, â€Å"Mewling†¦puking†¦ whining†¦ [and] †¦unwilling† (Act2 scene7, (147†¦150). The mentalities that Prospero and Jacques have, reflect in the substance of their discourses. Prospero talks increasingly about grand things while Jacques spends his entire discourse tending to the life of man. Prospero is by all accounts intrigued by generally spirits and sublime structures as found in the accompanying section: â€Å"These our on-screen characters, as I predicted you, were all spirits and are softened into air, like a phantom †¦[along with] the cloud-topped towers, the lovely royal residences, [and] the serious temples† (Act4 scene1, (148-153).
