I think The Tempest would have worked better as a tragedy. I don't know why William didn't consult with me first. I would have advised him to end his career with a bang: Sebastian would murder his brother Alonso, Antonio would murder Gonzalo, Caliban would have Stephano kill Prospero, Miranda would cry, Ferdinand would have discovered his father dead and murder his uncle, Miranda wouldn't have the guts to kill her uncle Antonio, but she and Ferdinand would capture him and Caliban and avenge Prospero's death by usurping his magical powers and indenturing them to their beck and call for the rest of eternity on the island. Ariel would be freed.
