Where the Bee Sucks
'Where the Bee Sucks' Summary
'Where the Bee Sucks' is a short song sung by Ariel, a spirit of the air, in William Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest'. It depicts Ariel's role in serving the exiled Duke Prospero, who has used magic to control the island and its inhabitants. The song is a lyrical expression of Ariel's longing for freedom and his frustration with his servitude, yet it also embodies the beauty and wonder of the natural world, mirroring the theme of the play. Through its powerful imagery of bees, flowers, and sweet breezes, the song expresses the beauty of the natural world and the power of love. It explores themes of freedom, servitude, and the magic of the natural world, all woven together in a poetic tapestry that speaks to the heart of human experience. The song is frequently performed in productions of 'The Tempest', often set to music, and its words continue to resonate with audiences centuries after its creation.Book Details
