I Might Be About 53.5% sure on what to do!

In discussions of The Tempest, the traditional view is to think that it is about how Caliban is portrayed as a native on the island.  However, there may be other ways to think about this text. For one thing, Aime Cesaire's A Tempest explains the more humorous version of the original version.  And the same source also contends that there could have been a different outcome on what happened because of one difference in the story.  Therefore, taking these positions into account we can see that one small change can make a huge impact in the end of things.

Aime Cesaire's A Tempest is a variation of the original The Tempest.  This version shows how there can be a different way to view the reading of the play.  Aime Cesaire's version of the story shows a much more comical version of the play.  Part of the reason for this idea could be because of the people who read it and did a fantastic job with it, but I do believe that with the literature of this one it was more simplistic and it had more humorous writing.  Another way to look at this story is to think that it is a different outcome of the story.  For example in this version of the play Ariel actually did not like Prospero as he did in the original play.  With this one little change of the story Ariel plots against him with the help of Caliban and the whole play goes in a different direction.

I will use this source for mainly the second reason because I believe that I can prove a very good argument on it.  I want to use it in the way that shows that this one small change can change the whole play in itself.  I like this because instead of Prospero getting everything he wants; he actually will have people plotting against him and these people will actually have the ability to defeat him. 
Thats about it...
