Our group's goal with our annotations was to provide a variety of notable information covering linguistic, historical, andĀ cultural elements, as well as facts about William Shakespeare'sĀ The Tempest itself, since the poem focuses on the character Caliban. In this way, we hoped even a first-year English undergraduate without in-depth knowledge of this play would be able to read Browning's poem and understand all of the constant references to specific characters and their dynamics.
