In discussions of the countless interpretations of The Tempest by William Shakespeare, one controversial issue has been the excess of different opinions by highly acclaimed critics on whether the context of the play was intended to portray the immoral acts of imperialism, or if it is merely a commonplace expression of the time period by ShShakespeare. On the one hand, George Will argues that an author creates their work of writing with one purpose. With that in mind, it seems that Will supports a literal reasoning behind the meaning of The Tempest, and that the explanations of the play being intended as an-anti imperialistic message are faulty in his opinion. On the other hand, Aime Cesaire contends that the play is in fact an outcry against the destructive imperialistic nature of the age. In Cesaire's work,a rewrite of The Tempest entitled A Tempest, Cesaire emphasizes the imperialistic message by giving the reader better insight into the the minds and emotions of the characters involved, therefore exposing the underlying meaning behind Shakespeare's lines. My own view on this concept is that Cesaire is mostly correct. However, I do believe that the play can be interpreted in any way one chooses, and although Will's idea does seem feasible, as a student of literature, we are encouraged to expand our thoughts and be continuously looking for new ways to analyze a piece of writing. So, in this way it seems that Cesaire's view is one which is more logical to develop new ideas and interpretations with. In discussions of  the correct interpretation of the text, the traditional view is that Shakespeare intended to involve imperialism as a centered theme. However, there may be other ways to think about this text. For one thing, Greenblatt explains that literature is an art, and therefore can be viewed in endless ways, just depending on the mindset of the viewer. Greenblatt also contends that attempting to set a structure for how a piece should be explained is futile. Therefore, taking these positions into account, we can see that in analyzing The Tempest, there is no right or wrong answer, as long as the answer given is justified through facts given from the piece of writing.
