Answer:We feel in his play an influence of this colonial society that can be seen in two different ways. Thus, Shakespeare in Act 1 and Act 2 of his play The Tempest does not criticize colonialism in a very clear way but treats it ambiguously. Indeed, Shakespeare wrote at a time when slavery was considered legitimate and above all necessary for the economy.

Answer:

1. Shakespeare used allusions to help the audience understand connections and character traits.

2. It was very effective because they used allusions that reffered to Roman mythology to help understand better.

Hope this helps!
