Love this, and I'd just been thinking, while reading your post, Oh, what travels through Sonya's brain! The chain analogy is perfect, though I hope it doesn't rattle too much for sleeping.
All this talk about The Tempest. My daughter's middle school is performing it tonight (twelve- to fourteen-year-olds, with my daughter a narrator this time around--yes, she was disappointed but stuck to it, loves drama). I don't know how much the kids get out of Shakespeare, but I do love hearing my daughter throw out a line or two of his, with emotional flourish, in ordinary conversation. She has nearly the entire play memorized from practicing so much.
As for Prospero, he's being played by her friend Eric, who is an adorable, flamboyant, demonstrative, perverted (I hear) 14-year-old who calls my daughter to coordinate wearing their duplicate purple pants, who streaks his long hair and wears it before his eyes, and whom all the girls love. I'm eager to see what he does with Prospero.
