Chapter 4 third act

Before the first scene of Prospero's cave Ferdinand on the tree. Ferdinand There is a kind of game that is very strenuous, but interest will make people forget the hard work; there is a kind of humble work that is endured with a spirit of perseverance, and the humblest things often point to the most noble goals.My kind of servitude should be hard and disgusting to me, but the girls I serve make my life interesting, and I find that labor is a kind of pleasure.Ah, her tenderness was ten times that of her father's perverseness, and he was full of violence!He sternly ordered me to bring and pile up thousands of these logs; and my dear girl wept when she saw me toil, and said she never saw a man like me do such a low thing. Work.well!I forgot about work.But these sweet thoughts give me new strength, and my thoughts are most active when I am doing my work.

Enter Miranda; Prospero follows. Miranda, please don't work so hard!I wish a flash of lightning would burn up all the logs you've been asked to pile up!Please put it down for a while, sit down and rest.If this log were to burn, it would think of the toil it has given you and weep.My father is engrossed in his studies; please rest and rest, he will not come out for three hours. Ferdinand, dearest girl, the sun will go down before I have done the work I have to do. Miranda If you'll sit down, I'll carry the wood for you a while, please give it to me; let me carry it up the pile.

How can Ferdinand, precious man!I'd rather mutilate my bones and crush my back than have you do such a shabby job while I sit by with my hands empty. Miranda If this kind of work is assigned to you, of course it is assigned to me.And I feel more comfortable doing it; because I am willing, but you are forced. Prospero (aside) Poor boy, you've got your hands full!Your groan of pain speaks volumes. Miranda, you look tired. Ferdinand No, noble girl!When you are by my side, the night turns into a fresh morning.I beg you to tell me your name so that I may put it in my prayers. Miranda Miranda.well!Father, I have disobeyed your order and told it!

Ferdinand the admirable Miranda!It is really the highest peak of all admiration, worth more than all the most precious treasures in the world!Many a girl my eye has gazed upon, and many a time their soft voices have captivated my over-sensitive ear: I have liked various girls for all kinds of beauty; but never with all my heart In love with one, there is always some defect that mars her sublime beauty.But you, so perfect and unparalleled, are created by gathering the best beauty points of everyone! Miranda I never saw a man of my own sex, nor remember the face of any woman but my own face in a mirror; A man I could call a man.I know not how men are born elsewhere, but I swear by my most precious dowry chastity: I desire no companion in this world but you; Produce an image that I like.But my words went too far, and I forgot all my father's lessons.

Ferdinand I am a prince in my place, Miranda; a king perhaps, but I hope I am not!I can't bear a fly staining the corners of my mouth, let alone suffer the drudgery of carrying wood.Hear my heart tell you: when I first saw you, my heart flew to your side, willingly served you, made me your slave; but for your sake, I Only then is he willing to let himself be this hard-working logger. Miranda do you love me? Ferdinand is on top!The ground is underneath!Witness this wonderful voice for me.If what I said is true, may heaven and earth give me a happy result; if what I said is false, then please turn my destined luck into bad luck!Beyond the bounds of everything else in the world, I love you, value you, and adore you!

Miranda, I am a fool to cry when I hear words that I like! Prospero (narrator) The rendezvous of a rare marriage!God bless their descendants! Ferdinand why are you crying? Miranda Because I am too ordinary, I dare not give you what I would give you, much less ask you to receive what I desire.But this is bullshit; the more you cover it up, the more it reveals itself.Go, timid cunning!Let simple and holy innocence direct my words!If you will marry me, I will be your wife; if not, I will be your handmaid to the end of my life: You may refuse me to be your companion; but whether you will or not, I will be your slave.

Ferdinand my dearest love!I will always bow my head before you. Miranda So are you my husband? Ferdinand Yes, I desire with all my heart, as one in bondage desires to be free.hold my hand. Miranda Here is my hand, and my heart is with it.It's time for us to part now, see you in half an hour. A thousand farewells to Ferdinand! (Down separately.) Prospero Of course I couldn't be happier than they themselves, And they were quite unexpected; But nothing could please me more than this.I'm going to read my book, because I have some things to do before dinner. (Down.) Another place on the second island

Caliban with the bottle, Stephano and Trinculo enter. Stephano don't tell me; if the cask runs out, then we'll drink water; let's always drink the bar, as long as there's a drop left.come one!two!three!Come on, do it!Monster slave, congratulate me! Trinculo monster minions!The idiot that is a specialty of this island!It is said that there are only five people on this island, and we are already three; if the other two are as clever as we are, our country will be unstable. Stephano drink, monster slave!I tell you to drink and you drink.Your eyes are literally stuck on top of your head.

Trinculo's eyes are not born on the head, but where should they be born?What a splendid monster he would be if his eyes were in his tail! Stephano The tongue of my monster's minion is drowned in the white wine; but I, the sea will not drown me: by the sun, I swim more than a hundred miles to and fro shore.You have to be my lieutenant, monster, or my standard bearer. Trinculo Be an adjutant, if you like; he can't be a standard-bearer. Stephano We don't want to run, Mr. Monster. Trinculo doesn't want to walk either, so lie down like a dog; don't say a word. Goblin Stephano, say a word, if you're a good goblin.

Caliban Salute my lord!Let me lick your boots.I don't want to serve him, he's a coward. Trinculo, you liar, ignorant monster!I can beat a cop.Hey you stinky fish!People who drink as much liquor as I do today, are you still called a coward?Are you going to tell an absurd lie because you're an absurd thing that's half fish, half monster? Caliban look!How he made fun of me!Will you let him go on like that, sir? Trinculo said sir!Who would have thought getting a monster would be such a fool! Caliban Here, here, again!I beg you to kill him. Stephano Terrinculo, gag your mouth well!If you want to rebel, I will hang you on the tree in front of you!This poor monster is mine and cannot be bullied.

Caliban Thank you my lord!Would you like to listen to me again? Stephano You play it; kneel down and say it.I stood, and Trinculo also stood. Enter Ariel invisibly. CALIBAN I have said, I am subject to a tyrant and a wizard, Who has wrested this island from me by artifice. Ariel, you are lying! Caliban you lie, you gag monkey!I wish my brave master to kill you.I did not lie. Stephano Trinculo, if you come again while he's talking, by this hand I'll knock out your teeth. What about Trinculo?I didn't say a word. Stephano, so be quiet, don't say any more. (to Caliban) Go on. Caliban I say, he has enchanted the island, and taken it from me; if the lord would avenge him for me, I know you would, but the fellow will never dare Stephano, of course. Caliban, you can be the master of this island, and I am willing to serve you. By what method did Stephano achieve this?Can you take me to that man's place? Caliban Yes, yes, sir.I can deliver him to you while he is fast asleep, and you can drive a nail into his head. Ariel, you lie, you dare not! Caliban, the garish fool!The bastard!Beat him up, my lord, and take his bottle; and when he's out of wine, he'll have to drink the salt water of the sea, for I won't tell him where the spring is. Stephanotrinculo, don't make fun of yourself!If you say another word to disturb this monster, I swear by this hand, and I will beat you into a fish in spite of all sympathy. Trinculo what?What have I offended you?I didn't say a word.Let me go a little further. Stephano, don't you say he's a liar? Ariel, you are lying! Stephano Am I lying!Eat this! (Strikes Trinculo) If it tastes good to you, try it next time. Trinculo I did not say you lied.Are you so dizzy that you can't even hear clearly?Damn bottle!Drinking makes you so groggy.May your monster die of rinderpest, and the devil bend your fingers! Caliban Hahaha! Stephano Go on now.Please stand further away. Caliban hit him hard; and I'll hit him after a while. Stephano stood a little further away.Come and talk. CALIBAN I told you, he has an old custom of going to sleep in the afternoon; when you take his book first, you can smash his head, or break him with a log decapitate him, or rip his guts out with a stick, or slit his throat with your knife.Remember, get his book first; for when he loses his book, he is a fool like me, and no elf will obey him: there is none of these elves who do not take his book as I do. Hate to the bone marrow.Just burn his books; and he has some splendid furniture which he calls furniture and which he furnishes when the house is built; but first of all his beautiful daughter should be on his mind.He himself said she was a beautiful woman; I never saw a woman, save my old mother Sycorax and her; but she I don't know how much better than Sycorax Yes, just like the difference between heaven and earth. Is Stephano such a wonderful girl? CALIBAN Yes, my lord; I assure you, she'll be right in bed with you, and she'll bear you fine boys. Stephano monster, I must kill this man; his daughter and I shall be king and queen, God bless!Trinculo and you as governor.Do you approve of this plan, Trinculo? Trinculo is wonderful. Stephano Let me shake your hand.I'm sorry I hit you; but when you're alive, it's better to speak less. CALIBAN In half an hour he'll be asleep; will you kill him then? Stephano Well, on my honor. Ariel I will tell the master to go. Caliban you make me very happy, my heart is full of joy.Let's have a good time.Would you like to sing the roulette you just taught me? STEPHANO Let you play, monster; I'll do whatever is reasonable.Come, Trinculo, let us sing. (Sing) mock them, mock them, mock them, mock them, How free the mind is! Caliban This piece is wrong. Ariel plays the drum and the flute, and plays to the tune. Stephano What is that voice? Trinculo This is the tune of our song, blowing in the air. Stephano If you are a man, come out as a man; if you are a ghost, take whatever shape you want! Trinculo Forgive me my sins! It's all over when the Stephanos die; I'm not afraid of you.But have mercy on us! Caliban Are you afraid? Stephano No, monster, what am I afraid of? Caliban fear not.The island is full of sounds and melodies that are pleasant to listen to and do no harm to.Sometimes thousands of tinkling instruments ring in my ears.Sometimes when I woke up from a deep sleep, I heard that singing, and I fell into a deep sleep again; at that time, in my dream, it was like a door opened in the clouds, and countless treasures were pouring down on me; when I woke up, I I almost cried, hoping to have such a dream again. Stephano This is a wonderful country, where you can listen to music for free. Caliban But first you must kill Prospero. We shall soon be able to do something about Stephano; I remember. Trinculo This voice fades away; let us follow it, and then do our business. Stephano leads us, monster; we follow you.I'd love to see the drum guy, he's playing pretty well the way he does. Trinculo, are you coming?I followed it, Stephano. (same below.) Another place on the island of the third scene Enter Alonzo, Sebastian, Antonio, Gonzalo, Adrian, Francisco, and others. Gonzalo, my God!I can't walk, my lord; my old bones ache.The road here is straight and curved, which completely stuns people!If you're not surprised, I must take a break. I can't blame you, old man Alonzo; I'm very disheartened and tired myself.Sit down and rest.Now I've given up my mind and stopped coaxing myself.He must have been drowned, though we groped for him; and the sea laughed at our futile quests on shore.Forget it, let him die and it's over! ANTONIO (narrating to Sebastian) I'm glad he's so discouraged.Don't give up your decided plan just because of one failure. Sebastian (narrating to Antonio) We must not miss the next opportunity. ANTONIO (narrating to Sebastian) To-night; they are tired of walking now, and must not, and cannot, be so alert. Sebastian (narrating to Antonio) Well, to-night.Say no more. Majestic and singular music.Prospero enters from above, invisible.A number of grotesque elves from the lower side brought in a table of banquets; they danced around it, and made various gestures of salute, inviting the king to eat and then retreat. Alonzo What music is this?My friends, listen up! Gonzalo's magical sweet music! Alonzo God bless us!what are these? A living puppet show by Sebastian?Only now do I believe that there are unicorns with one horn in the world, and that there are trees where phoenixes live in Arabia, and there is a phoenix on it that is still king in the south. I believe in the Antonio unicorn and the phoenix; and if there is anything beyond belief, tell me, and I'll swear it's true.Travelers never tell lies, but fools who never go out laugh at them. GONZALO If I were in Naples and told this, would they believe me?If I said to them, I saw the people on the island like this, of course they must be the people on the island. Although they have strange shapes, they are very polite and kind, which is rare among us humans. PROSPERO (Aside.) You are right, good old man; for there are some among your own people Worse than the devil. Alonzo I couldn't have been more surprised; without speaking, the shape, the gesture, the music of them all performed a beautiful pantomime. Prospero (narrator) Be slow to praise. Francisco They disappeared strangely. Sebastian leave him alone, since they have left the food, we shall eat it if we have stomachs.Would you like to give it a try? Alonzo I don't want to eat. Gonzalo Really, my lord, you need not be timid.When we were children, who would have believed that there was a mountain-dwelling people with a meat bag at the throat like a cow?Who would believe that there is a kind of person whose head grows on the chest?But we now believe that every traveler can be sure that this statement is not false. Alonzo Well, I'll eat, even if it's my last meal; what does it matter?My best days are behind me too.Brother, duke, come and eat with us. thunder and lightning.Ariel used a special mechanism on the strange bird that turned into a female-faced bird and hit the table with its wings, and the banquet disappeared immediately. Ariel You are three sinful people; Providence, which controls all the underworld, makes the ravenous sea spit you out again, and casts you on this uninhabited island, You are not worthy to live among human beings .You have gone mad. (Alonzo, Sebastian, etc. draw their swords) Even brave men like you cannot escape death.You fools!Me and my companions are messengers of fate; your swords, fused with wind and fire, cannot damage a feather on our body, as they are cut against the howling wind, and the waves that divide and recombine, but only Look ridiculous.My companions are also invulnerable.And even if they could hurt us, you don't have the strength to raise your arms now.Well remember, I have come to tell you this, you three are wicked men who usurped good Prospero at Milan, and cast him and his innocent babe at sea, and now you are being treated in the same way. retribution.For this evil deed, although Heaven did not punish you immediately, it did not let it go lightly. It has already caused the sea, land, and all living creatures to come against you.You, Alonzo, have lost your son; I declare to you again; the infinite pain of the living hell and all the death together is not so bad, will come step by step in the way of your life; unless you repent of the past , from now on, change your mind and be an innocent person, otherwise, on this deserted island, God's punishment is imminent! Ariel disappeared amidst the thunder.The soft music resumes; re-enter the elves, dancing and teasingly, carrying down the empty table. Prospero (aside) You've played the bird well, my Ariel, and you've held this table well, and you haven't missed a word I told you to say; even the fairies They are all alive and well, and each contributes a lot.My magic has shown its strength, and my enemies are paralyzed with terror; they are all under my power.Now I will leave them in this state, to visit young Ferdinand, whom they thought drowned, and his darling who is also mine. (From top to bottom.) Gonzalo In the holy name, my lord, why are you standing there like this? Alonzo, that's terrible!horrible!There I feel the tide tell me so; there the wind sings it to my ears; the deep, terrible, organ-like thunder is vibrating to me the name of Prospero, which proclaims in a sonorous bass my sin.So my boy must be buried in the soft mud of the sea; I will seek him in the unfathomable depths, and sleep with him! (Down.) Sebastian If these ghosts come one by one, I can beat them. Antonio let me help you. (Exit Sebastian and Antonio.) Gonzalo and the three of them all looked desperate.Their great crimes are now beginning to gnaw at their souls like a long-lost poison.You are better at adapting to the situation, please catch up quickly and stop them from doing any crazy moves. Adrian, come with me. (same below.)
