The Tempest Paragraph


Miranda and Ferdinand were in love and had just met, but
Prospero said he was going to make it hard for them to be together.
Now, in Act III scene i they are getting married and Prospero still does
not approve. Miranda said I have no ambition/to see a goodlier
man.(I.ii 587-588)She is trying to persuade her father to let them be
together, In Act III Miranda, talking to Ferdinand then asks, Do you
love me? (III.i 80) Ferdinand responds, Do love, prize, honor you.
(III.i 86)I think their relationship has grown stronger since they met.
Miranda, when she first laid eyes on Ferdinand said, I ever saw so
noble.(I. ii 500) She liked him before she even knew his name.
Ferdinand responded, seeing Miranda for the first time, Most sure, the
goddess/On whom these airs attend! (I.ii 505-506)He likes her back
and they dont even know each other! Ferdinand is struggling some
with carrying logs so Miranda says, Ill bear the logs for the while. (III.
I 28) Ferdinand says, No, precious creature, (III.i 30)because he
knows men do all the hard labor. These two acts show mostly
similarities, but have definitely evolved from one to the next.
