Kimo- Brave New World

Webster’s Dictionary defines “Society” as “An organized, voluntary association working together because of common interests, beliefs, or profession.” In William Shakespeare’s play, “The Tempest,” the diverse inhabitants of an island put aside their disparities and disputes so that they can survive in their own “Brave New World.” There are no such things as social classes, no such thing as corrupted power, just a true society, one that molds itself from the shards of rubble into a beauteous symbol for the world to see.
As President Barack Obama promises us, “There is no easy way to fix a problem so intricate and complicated…But hear me, this will be fixed.” There is no such thing as an easy solution. In fact there can be no solution to the problem like the one in “The Tempest” if not for forgiveness. Through forgiveness, Prospero was able to thwart Antonio and Sebastian’s plot. Through forgiveness, Ferdinand found and was allowed to marry the love of his life. Through forgiveness, Prospero was able to free himself from his confinement to magic. Some of the most unappreciated machines on Earth are timepieces. Slowly meshing the cogs within, clocks are always on a correction coarse to define our when. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is how this “Brave New World is;” The inhabitants of the Island know the difficulties that lie ahead, but must rely on each other, on each individual ‘cog,’ so that they can excel in the prosperity of peace. This band of eccentricities; a jester, a drunk, a monster with inner beauty, two conniving brothers, a solemn king, a renounced duke, his daughter and the love of her life, an old man with more wisdom that hairs on his beard, and all the other shipmen, fairies, and wonders of the Island rejoice in this Brand New World, one which requires everybody willing to love to lend a tender hand.
