Character Gallery - Instructions for Adults

The aim of a Character Gallery is to build up a picture of a character by using quotes from the play.

Select about 10-15 quotes. They can be things that they character says or things that are said about them.

Have one child for each of these quotes. Give them time and support so that they can read them confidently.

Position these children with quotes around the classroom or hall. They stand still and read their quote if someone comes close to them.

Other children walk around them as if visiting an art gallery. They aim to build up their understanding of the character.

Come back together as a whole class to discuss the quotes and what they seem to say about the character.

Unit 4 Day 2


The Prince - Text

Miranda looked down from the dripping doorway of their mountain cave and saw a young man roaming the island paths in a daze of grief. Every now and then, he would call out.

`Father! Father! Anyone! Is no one left alive, then, but me?'

`What is it, a god?' whispered Miranda, pressing her fingers to her mouth. 'He's so beautiful. Did you ever see such beauty, Father?' She was accustomed to the blue-green, feathered loveliness of Ariel, but this was nothing like it. This was flesh and blood. This was a wonder.

And yet Prospero did not welcome Ferdinand with sympathy and kindness. On the contrary, he was horribly fierce with him, accusing him of having come to the island expressly to steal it. A spy, he said, a treacherous dog fit for nothing but a kennel and a stout length of chain. When Ferdinand drew his sword to resist, Prospero's magic robbed him of all power to move, and though Miranda pleaded desperately on his behalf, Ferdinand was shackled like a convict and put to work carrying firewood.

Prince Ferdinand hardly cared. He had seen Miranda, miracle of the island, and she had looked back at him with the same love-struck eyes. Nothing else seemed to matter.

from Stories from Shakespeare – by Geraldine McCaughrean

Unit 4 Day 2


The Noblemen - Text

Ferdinand's father, King Alonso, was not dead. He and half the nobility of Naples and Milan were strewn round the island's shore, in accordance with Prospero's plan - soaked, exhausted, but alive. Among them was Prospero's deadly enemy Antonio.

King Alonso was devastated with grief, for he in turn believed his son had drowned. His companions -particularly Gonzalo - tried to comfort him by saying that Ferdinand could have swum ashore, but no one really believed it. Some were more sincere in their sympathy than others. For no sooner had the King and Gonzalo gone to sleep than Antonio resorted to his favourite pastime: plotting and murderous intrigue.

`If you were to kill Alonso now, while he's sleeping,' he whispered to Sebastian, 'and I were to put an end to that prig Gonzalo, you would go home from here King of Naples. You're heir to the throne, aren't you?' `Me? Take Naples? Like you took Milan from your brother?' `Yes, and how well his robes look on me!' Sebastian hesitated. 'I don't know if I could. `Nothing simpler,' urged Antonio, insidious and tempting. 'Three inches of steel — that's all that stands between you and the crown of Naples. Don't think about it. Let's just do it.

They could not know that every word spoken on the island rang loud in Prospero's ear. Quickly he sent Ariel to wake the victims, and Alonso and Gonzalo stirred in the nick of time to escape having their throats cut. The murderers' moment was lost; their crime had to be postponed, and the four went on searching for Alonso's lost son.


Unit 4 Day 2


The Servants - Text

Caliban was busy cursing his miserable existence when he heard someone coming. He hid for fear it was one of Prospero’s spirits sent to punish his laziness with pinches. He lay down and hid and that was how Trinculo and Stephano (two more survivors of the shipwreck) came upon him. Trinculo, Alonso's jester, looked round for shelter from a fresh burst of rain and, seeing Caliban's cloak, crept underneath it. Stephano, Alonso's butler, had stumbled across most of the island before he discovered Caliban. Owing to a lucky find — several bottles of wine washed ashore after the shipwreck — his brains were pretty much afloat in drink. Seeing what he took to be a two-headed, four-legged fairground freak, he generously slopped wine into the mouth at each end. “Trinculo, this end is you!” “Stephano, you're alive!”“Can I have some more wine?” asked Caliban, and they both jumped out of their wits. So it was that two rogues were reunited — and Caliban discovered a taste for strong liquor. He thought it so marvellous that he was ready to bow down and worship the god-like creatures who gave it to him, ready to serve them with slavish devotion — to show them his island, to let them have it, if they would just kill Prospero first. His head reeled with the drink. His fish fins slapped like a performing seal's as he thought of dancing on Prospero 's corpse. He should have known that every word spokenon the island could be heard by Prospero. Prospero sent Ariel to accompany the trio's drunken singing on pipe and drum, and the music impelled them to dance, like it or not, through thistles and thorns, pits and ponds up to their chins. Even so, he could not remove from their hearts the determination to kill Prospero and take his island from him.

Be Not Afeard

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices

That, if I then had waked after long sleep,

Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,

The clouds methought would open and show riches

Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,

I cried to dream again.
