The author draws attention to the fact that in William Shakespeare’s plays characters tell their stories and tales with varying degrees of credibility. In his paper he makes an attempt to reconstruct the actual circumstances of both the storm and shipwreck in The Tempest by analysing all the relevant accounts in the play. While investigating the reliability of the characters’ narratives, the author suggests that Ariel is a spirit whose report of the raised tempest and subsequent shipwreck is partly a trustworthy account and partly a fictitious and misleading tale, which is demonstrated in the course of comparing his words with the other characters’ assertions of what happened in the initial storm.

William Shakespeare’s “parcels and particulars”: His (Dis)Regard for Details in Creating Fictional Reality

The author argues that although William Shakespeare sometimes allows for minor incon- sistencies in his plays, which more often than not pass unnoticed during their performanc- es, he meticulously weaves their structures. In the course of analysing two examples of the playwright’s works, The Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About Nothing, the author suggests that in the former the Bard offers an hour-after-hour image of the fictional reality, whereas in the latter he not only provides us with a detailed account of the events placed within the calendar, but also seems to take advantage of this structure to suggest some hidden meaning.
