Aris Katsaris writes...
It has been noticed by the residents of the S8 comment room that the gender of Ariel in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' only appears as 'he' in a stage direction and is not referred at all within the main text itself. When you included Ariel, what would his/her gender be?
For that matter, may we assume that Shakespeare was inaccurate in portraying Prospero as abandoning his magic?
Greg responds...
Ariel's gender... Don't feel like revealing that now. Sorry.
Shakespeare wasn't wrong. But Prospero found reason to start again.
