“all thy vexations were but my trials of thy love, and thou hast strangely stood the test” this quote has been said by Prospero and I  think that he was intending to direct it to Ferdinand. It means that Prospero had been testing him to see the limits he’d go to show his feelings and passion for Miranda as shown in previous scenes from such things as carrying logs and was actually on a trial, which meant being Prospero slave I know this because when he says “were but my trials of thy love”.when Prospero then says” and thou hast strangely stood the test”it was him giving Ferdinand his blessing,as he had seen the lengths he’d go, to be with Miranda further on in the scene Prospero wants to kill caliban and caliban to Prospero this affects the plot because it will cause tension  as there could be a good war coming between the two.

The clause I’ve chosen is “Paunch him with a stake” the word Paunch is a verb, him a pronoun, with a preposition, a an indefinite article and stake finally is a noun.

In the scene love plays an important role impacting the feelings ferdinand and miranda have for one another .ferdinand despite only being the third man to ever see before her very eyes feels as though she loves  him and needs to know if the feelings mutuall”do you love me”through on into the text the words then turn to marrige “my husband then “ferdinand then replying with “heres my hand ” finally after some time prospero comes to his senses and realises mirandas in love.

To summarise act 2 scene2 ,monster features were packed into the scene . “this is some monster of the isle,with four legs , who hath got , as i take it,an ague”caliban ,stephano,trinculo are the characters met in the scene all playing a big role that impacts the play like when caliban falsely feels that trinculo is a spirit sent from prospero to torment him”here comes a spirit of his ,and to torment me” stephano and trinculo using caliban and his gullible self “farewell,master;farewell,farewell.”to display a god like and high status as calibans declares to them “thats a brave god , and bears celestial liqour. I will kneel to him.”
