Dear David & Stephen: Yes, I see your point with these other examples which, you must admit, seem much more convincing than the first. Prospero can seem overly subtle to the point of insrutable at times. RA > Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:10:16 + > To: praelu...@hotmail.com

"A Google search would seem to indicate that most internet users would assume you meant a long stick bent by a string and used to fling a projectile. Nonetheless, an interesting question." Actually "Bowing" does have it's earliest European origin in archery, specifically in late 14th century

Dear Ron, I'm not sure how the audience's hands would help except by applause. The whole epilogue is asking for the audience to pardon him now that his magic has been abjured. (the magic of the play) Here is another direct appeal to the audience to use their hands from the end o

I'd suggest there is in fact an applause reference. The following plays threw up similar references after a brief trawl through, and I have always understood this kind of reference to be part of Shakespeare's breaking of the fourth wall. Note that all of these references occur within a fe

As much as I would be pleased to join in with the interpretation of Prospero's reference to hands, I think it probably bears the more conventional meaning of helping hands rather than applause. And, as a violin teacher, the bowing and scraping I endure is certainly more of the horse
