With close reference to Act III, describe Alonso's response to the perceived loss of his son, Ferdinand. Write your answer in a short paragraph of about 100-150 words.
उत्तर
In Act III of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," Alonso, the King of Naples, is overwhelmed with grief and despair over the perceived loss of his son, Ferdinand, whom he believes has drowned. This sorrow is evident when he expresses a profound sense of guilt and remorse, suggesting that the loss of his son is a divine punishment for his past wrongdoings, particularly his involvement in the usurpation of Prospero's dukedom. He becomes so despondent that he loses interest in his surroundings and his royal power, showing no care even for his own safety. Alonso's grief is compounded by the harsh conditions of the island and the mysterious spirits that further disorient him, making his mental state even more fragile. His profound sadness renders him passive and resigned, accepting his suffering as atonement for his sins, which is starkly contrasted with the attitudes of the other characters who continue to plot and scheme for power and escape.
