Key Quotations - Alonso
Here are three key quotations that highlight aspects of Alonso's character:
'The name of Prosper'
'The name of Prosper'
- 'The name of Prosper. It did bass my trespass. / Therefore my son i' th' ooze is bedded, and / I'll seek him deeper than e'er plummet sounded, / And with him there lie mudded.'
- Alonso admits what he has done wrong - something that Sebastian and Antonio seem incapable of. Both Prospero and Alonso are much more self-aware.
'Thy dukedom I resign'
'Thy dukedom I resign'
- 'Thy dukedom I resign and do entreat / Thou pardon me my wrongs. But how should / Prospero / Be living and be here?'
- Alonso is willing to seek forgiveness and admit his wrongdoings. He also seems a little clueless as he cannot understand how Prospero was exiled.
'A vision of the Island'
'A vision of the Island'
- 'If this prove / A vision of the Island, one dear son / Shall I twice lose.'
- It seems too good to be true that Ferdinand is not dead. Alonso is cautious that this all might be a trick of the island. It also shows how deeply he felt the loss of his son that he cannot bear to go through it again.
