Every eight years a new president gets elected in the United States. Two people fight over getting the most votes and then once that one person wins the overall election, they now have power over the whole Unites States. This is very similar to the play "The Tempest", written by Shakespeare. Throughout this play, the reader can see many attempts by the characters to establish their own form of rule. Próspero's brother having taken over the throne is a key catalyst that causes próspero to search for or create a new kind of kingdom/government.

Caliban lures him further by marriage to Miranda. Stephano and Trinculo fall for the bait and are humiliated. Their plan is foiled much in the same manner as the plan of Antonio and Sebastian to seize the kingdom of Naples by going away with Alonso. Caliban was fooled by Stephano and does not even notice it. However, Prospero feels free to forgive those who sinned against him only after he has emerged triumphant and has seen the men, now mournful and "penitent", pay for their transgressions. Further evidence to support the claim that Prospero’s quality of mercy is strained, and that a truly sincere reconciliation fails to develop, comes when Prospero finally confronts King Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio and announces that he is the right Duke of Milan. Although power can take over everything, many can get harm or have tons of problems due to this. Being normal and just live life the way it is suppose to be will eventually do good in
