The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 12.0730 Friday, 30 March 2001 From: Stuart Manger <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Thursday, 29 Mar 2001 16:20:49 +0100 Subject: Tempest, Renaissance Education and Chess The symbolic role of the chess scene between Ferdinand and Miranda in Act 5. [a] Miranda clearly knows the game well enough to question Ferdinand's strategy and even probity. [b] BUT would women have been taught to play chess as an integral element in European Renaissance courtly manners and skills, or was it more likely in England than elsewhere? [c] Or was it specifically an aristocratic, and probably specifically masculine, pastime, hence a very obvious demonstration, and stunning theatrical trope for Shakespeare to deploy, not only to Ferdinand but to Alonso, and even more to a courtly audience, of Propsero's education of his daughter well beyond 'what ordinary princesses can'? [d] Is it a metaphor for sexual warfare - here an index of the 'new', purified, post-Masque Ferdinand, who would not now dream of cheating in the 'game of love or life'?

Who cares? It isn't any island, and it is all islands. An island of the mind? I mean...... please! Stuart Manger [2]------------------------------------------------------------- From: Judith M.

As one of the elephants--(I'm not talking "Hannibal Lector" here, although some members of this list may identify me that way), I'm in basic agreement with Kermode's position that the inaccuracy of Shakespeare's geography, like his time sequences, may be due not to his lack of knowledge, but with his penchant for compressing ideas into a vivid image on the model of a metaphor. I have always thought that conflicts in "The Tempest" were a outward dramatization of the inward conflicts in the human psyche based on Plato's model of the soul, a popular Renaissance sourcebook, rather than an attempt to locate the action of the play in a realistic setting. Too much of the play is obvious fiction for the setting to be totally accurate. I know this idea is an old one, but I have a hard time being convinced by newer readings that lack grounding in the thought of the time.
