PROSPERO: Though with their high wrongs I am struck to th’ quick,
Yet with my nobler reason ’gainst my fury

In virtue than in vengeance.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet

PROSPERO: Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 4, sc. 1, l. 165ff (4.1.165-175) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

MIRANDA: Do you love me?
FERDINAND: O heaven, O Earth, bear witness to this sound,
And crown what I profess with kind event
If I speak true; if hollowly, invert
What best is boded me to mischief. I,
Beyond all limit of what else i’ th’ world,
Do love, prize, honor you.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 3, sc. 1, l. 80ff (3.1.80-86) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

ARIEL: While you here do snoring lie,
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber and beware.
Awake, awake!William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 2, sc. 1, l. 344ff (2.1.344-349) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

ANTONIO: We all were sea-swallowed, though some cast again,
And by that destiny to perform an act
Whereof what’s past is prologue, what to come
In yours and my discharge.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 2, sc. 1, l. 287ff (2.1.287-290) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

ARIEL: Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell.
Ding dong.
Hark, now I hear them — ding dong, bell.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 1, sc. 2, l. 474ff (1.2.474-482) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

ARIEL: Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad, and played
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel,
Then all afire with me. The King’s son, Ferdinand,
With hair up-staring — then like reeds, not hair —
Was the first man that leaped; cried “Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.”William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Tempest, Act 1, sc. 2, l. 246ff (1.2.246-253) (1611)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

Due to child issues, have had to move seeing #SigourneyWeaver in #TheTempest to its final week. Not sure the box office appreciated me saying "They should have learnt the lines by then"...

Good article.
I agree. What’s the justification for a remake of one of the most influential science fiction films ever?
The movie ‘Forbidden Planet’ itself is a retelling of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ which has been reworked in so very many stage and screen adaptations and homages. One really has to wonder at the mix of unconstrained ambition and unvarnished derivativeness of the EP and screenwriter.
That said, Star Trek, Star Wars and other science fiction fans who haven’t seen the original definitely should.
