Power and Order in Shakespeare's The Tempest and Romeo and Juliet. This paper discusses how power creates a social structure that destroys the moral fiber of citizens in "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Tempest". Although the ending of "The Tempest" is more idealistic than in "Romeo and Juliet", we see the negative influence of power. In many respects, the issue of power in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is precisely about the relationship between romantic love and parental power. In "The Tempest", meanwhile, it is clear that Antonio had too much power and abused the affairs of state. 5 pgs. 5 f/c. 5b.
