The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.

Cymbeline, King of Britain || William Shakespeare || 1609 ✓ by SapphireAlena
29 parts Complete
While usually classified as a comedy, four of William Shakespeare's plays can be classified as romances: The Tempest, Pericles, The Winter's Tale, and Cymbeline. Occasionally, Cymbeline is classified as a history, since the title character was based on Cunobeline King of the Britons during pre-Roman British History from late first century BC until early 40's AD. However, the romance genre of Shakespeare's day is entirely different from the romance genre of today. In actuality, the romance of Shakespeare's day would be called a fantasy today. Cymbeline is a story with many plots and subplots, strong characters, and the supernatural. It is also a prototype of melodrama. So sit back. Enjoy the plotting. Relish in the characterization. And try not to get too confused.

Now on the edge of womanhood, she's ready to step into Society. But Anthony isn't ready to let her go-not into the world, and certainly not into the arms of another man. Because she was his to protect. Always had been. Maybe... always would be.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Iulius Cæsar) is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.
