    In Outliers: The Story of Success, introductory facts are presented in the epilogue, where Gladwell explains to the reader about his family’s heritage. He states how his grandmother, Daisy Nation, was able to provide for and raise her two daughters in Jamaica during the early 1900s.

By comparing the current events to a dream, he again recognizes his supposed reality as fiction, which stresses the unimportance of the play. How can he demean his supposed reality to a dream, and thus, fiction? The “how” is critical; it means Prospero must have a sense of something greater. To demean something is to, conversely,…
