Essay on the Roles of Trinculo and Stephano in The Tempest

The Roles of Trinculo and Stephano in The Tempest   â â Trinculo and Stephano have two significant jobs in The Tempest - lighthearted element and the subject of investigation. As a result of this twofold nature to their characters, they are a higher priority than they at first show up.   â â â â â â â â â â The Tempest is a parody. The play may not appear to fit into the class of parody as it exists today; yet in the seventeenth century satire was altogether different.

Without their effect on occasions, The Tempest would be significantly darker in tone.   â â â â â â â â â â If Trinculo and Stephano had been le... ...utilization of this twofold nature to their characters, they are a higher priority than they at first show up.
