In the book The Tempest there are several themes but the one I would like to concentrate on are savagery and civilization. The definition I found on savagery is fierce, cruel, wild primitive/member of a primitive tribe, cruel or barbarous person. On the other hand the definition of civilization that I found was the opposite it is an advanced stage or system of social development, a people nation are regarded as an element of social evolution. There are three characters I choose to talk about and they are Antonio, Alonso and Gonzalo.Antonio is considered a savage. While on the other hand Gonzalo and Alonso are considered civilized people. Basically savagery and civilization is explored throughout The Tempest.
Antonio is the one that who plotted against his brother, Prospero, in order to take over the title of Duke of Algiers. He is arrogant, selfish, a savage and has little regard for anyone but hims
