Conclusion Example: Prospero’s magic allowed him survive, and even thrive, against all odds. Magic provided him with an opportunity to find a husband for his beloved daughter, and gave him a chance to bring his disloyal brother to justice. It also helped him to find his way back to his life in Milan. The mystical elements of the play give it an ethereal quality that delights the audience. It is magic that makes Shakespeare’s The Tempest a compelling tale of beauty, survival and triumph.

What has gone wrong here? So you can see that the play is about a magician who has slaves and he controls them and they beg for their freedom but he can’t let them go because he needs to harness their magic for his own selfish needs but Shakespeare clearly disagrees and has him come to his senses and free them and that is why slavery is the central theme of the Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

What has gone wrong with this conclusion? It was sad and tragic. They were shipwrecked. And she was nearly raped. By the half-man half-fish Caliban. How she didn’t know any other men. The Tempest explores all of that tragedy that happened.. The play makes you think about people who were abandoned. And those who nearly died. It was sad and tragic. They were shipwrecked.

What has gone wrong with this conclusion? It’s so sad that I bawled for about a week when I read the play. Not that the play is sad, except that I think Miranda has been lonely not knowing any men. I think I was really crying because she had such a hard life, and it makes me feel like crap because I have it easy and I whine all the time about nothing. The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, made me re-evaluate my whole life. It’s so sad that I bawled for about a week when I read the play.

What has gone wrong with this conclusion? “Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘survival’ as: ‘a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment.’” In this essay I have proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Prospero, the main character in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is a textbook survivor, because I think he adapted to his environment and, using magic, evolved into the ruler of his very own island. “Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘survival’ as: ‘a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment.’” In this essay I have proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Prospero, the main character in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is a textbook survivor, because I think he adapted to his environment and, using magic, evolved into the ruler of his very own island.

Now… It is time to write your conclusion. Don’t fret too much if you’re having trouble finding a lasting, final line. During your peer-editing session on Monday, you can ask your editor to help you write that all-important final statement. Be clear and concise – this should be your shortest paragraph. Sum-up your arguments and re-state your thesis. You’ll be fine.
