"Prospero: The Enigmatic Magician of Shakespeare's Tempest" Step into the mystical world of Prospero, as depicted in Derek Jarman's iconic film poster for "The Tempest" (1979). With vibrant colors and captivating imagery, this poster invites you to immerse yourself in the enchanting tale. In one scene from Shakespeare's masterpiece, Prospero and his daughter Miranda watch the tempest unfold before their eyes. This mesmerizing color lithograph captures their awe and wonder at the power of nature. As you delve deeper into the story, you encounter a giant ophicleide played in 1843. This peculiar instrument adds an otherworldly element to the already magical atmosphere surrounding Prospero. A wood engraving after Sir John Gilbert graces the title page of a 19th-century edition of "The Tempest. " It showcases Prospero's commanding presence as he orchestrates events on his island kingdom with masterful skill. Drawing parallels between Poe's haunting tales and Shakespeare's play, we find ourselves captivated by "The Masque of the Red Death. " Just like Prospero, Poe delves into themes of power, control, and mortality that resonate throughout both works. Caliban is another intriguing character intertwined with Prospero. Their complex relationship unfolds amidst storms and sorcery. Together they embody contrasting forces - civilization versus wildness - creating a dynamic narrative within "The Tempest. " William Haviland brings life to Prospero on stage, portraying him with depth and complexity. His performance leaves audiences spellbound as they witness this enigmatic magician command every aspect of his realm. Not to be confused with our protagonist is Prospero Colonna – a military figure who shares only a name but none of our magician’s mystique. Two different worlds collide through mere coincidence. Lyn Harding immortalizes Prospero through oil on canvas in 1904.
