In this scene, we are introduced to some of the royal party. We see how they react to the storm. We also see how they interact with the sailors. If I had to lead discussion about this I would discuss some of these points:
- You could have people characterize his actions -- talk about how he is pushing in and bothering the sailors.
- Why do you think he acts this way?
- What do you think of the way that the king is acting in this scene? Is he right to act this way?
- What do you think that Shakespeare is saying about monarchy in this scene?
- Looking at this scene, what are any of Alonso, Gonzalo, and Sebastian good people?
