The correct answer is The Tempest.
The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare in 16th century England. Although it may not seem as a criticism of England and its politics of imperialism, if you really think about it, it actually is. It tells the story of Prospero who visits an island, takes control over it, and imposes his own culture and politics over its people, which is exactly what England did to other countries.
