Key Quotations - Ferdinand

Here are three key quotations that highlight aspects of Ferdinand's character:

__'Let me live here ever.'__

'Let me live here ever.'

  • 'Let me live here ever. / So rare a wondered father and a wise / Makes this place paradise.'
    • This line could be a biblical reference, presenting Ferdinand and Miranda as Adam and Eve like figures.
__'All corners else o' th' earth'__

'All corners else o' th' earth'

  • 'Might I but through my prison once a day / Behold this maid. All corners else o' th' earth / Let liberty make use of. Space enough / Have I in such a prison'
    • Ferdinand is enslaved, like Caliban and Ariel are, except he is happy with his lot as long as he can still see Miranda. That is all he seemingly needs to be happy.
__'Sir, she is mortal,'__

'Sir, she is mortal,'

  • 'Sir, she is mortal, / But by immortal Providence she's mine.'
    • Ferdinand believes that he and Miranda are destined to be together, but they would not have met if Prospero had not caused the storm.
