J.M. Murray About Miranda's dispostion	"Miranda is what she is because she is his pupil." Nature vs Nurture and speaks to Act 1, sc.2 leant how to speak like that from Prospero. "Abhorred slave, which any print of goodness wilt not take, being capable of all ill!"
1996 Producion Ariel and Prospero's relationship	Depicted like father and son. Would never get angry at him, just lightly chide him.
