Tender Mercies

With the will to search for new experiences and fresh perceptions of the world we live in, creates the ability for individuals to overcome confronting challenges and provide gains through the journey of personal realization, new ideas and acceptance of ourselves and who we truly are. This is represented through the play ‘Away’ composed by Gow that addresses the contextual era of 1967 where the after effects of the great depression and the WW2 was huge and where a high influx of migrants settled Australia

Women were often held to a higher double standard and were shamed in the public if they did not confide to the standards. During this time a woman was being judged by three distinct characteristics; wealth, beauty and virtue. A woman who was in possession of these qualities were the most desirable.

The human heart is not a reflection of something soft and tender but of a consuming mouth, like that of a beast. Monstrous, unnatural and oppressive are all factor concluding the human nature which imitates a terrifying God, or of a reflection of negative qualities of humanity creating this God. – I agree with

Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin

This contributes to the tone of this poem because of how raw Wolsey speaks about his feels about the king, and how nothing is being held back. “To-day he puts forth/ The tender leaves of hopes, to-morrow blossoms,” (3-4). Shakespeare uses the line bar in “to-day” and “to-morrow” to emphasize the fact that Wolsey had to put in a lot of effort in order to blossom; more effort than needed, which contributes to the angry tone

but this plan rehabilitates Prospero, leaving him a changed man. His path to forgiveness proves Prospero’s virtuous act to become the “bigger man”. In the final act of the play, Ariel states, “if you now beheld them, your affections Would become tender.” (5.1.19-20) giving the reader a sense of how powerful Prospero’s forgiveness impacts the people who have wronged him.
