The Tempest
by
Prospero manipulates his daughter Miranda, the prince Ferdinand, his father (the King of Naples), Ariel, Caliban, and the rest of the cast! But in the end **spoiler warning here, if anyone actually needs it** he sets his slaves free and forgives those who've wronged (tried to murder) him, and also has some really excellent lines, so it's all good.
Review to come.
Initial comments: The "book from the 1600s" space is one of the last few that need to be filled in on my 2016 Classics Bingo card. I tried and failed to get into Milton's Paradise Lost, but The Tempest is going down a lot easier. :)

The Tempest is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays.

So many references in Madame L'engle's books… i need to read it.
One of my favorite bits is where Gonzalo is talking to the boatswain and tells him to remember who is on board. The boatswain replies, "None that I love more than myself."

The boatswain replies, "None that I love more than myself.""Yes, and this comment from Gonzalo right afterwards: "I have great comfort from this fellow. Methinks he hath no drowning mark upon him, his complexion is perfect gallows."
Paradise Lost... I gave up on that as well. I am now „reading“ this via a fabulous app with live performances of a spectacular cast.
