AB  - Analyzes significance of magic in Tempest. Notes that magic is distributed undemocratically in Tempest, bestowed to characters in way that reinforce racial and social hierarchies in early modern period, with white characters possessing magical powers while non-white characters are deprived of such powers. Proposes that possession or lack of magical powers in play functions as allegory for distribution of literacy, knowledge and political power in early modern period.
