The prince is concerned and saddened by his father's senseless death. However, Ariel performs this song to reassure the bereaved (sad) prince that his father's death is significant and that he no longer has to worry. The speaker of this poem is Ariel, who sings the song about Ferdinand's father's death.
Ferdinand is one of Shakespeare's most beloved characters and a key part of the story. He is a young prince who lives with his mother, brother, and uncle. When his father dies, there is no king for him to take over so he must wait until he is old enough to be crowned.
During this time of waiting, he travels around Europe looking at different courts in an attempt to find one that will accept him as their ruler. On his way back home, he visits Naples where Queen Maria de' Medici is interested in marrying her son to another royal daughter from across the sea. So, she sends him off with a fleet ahead in order to meet up with King Francis I of France if possible.
However, before they can leave, news comes that Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, has died. So, the two countries decide to go ahead with the marriage agreement anyway. Once married, he will rule over both countries and they will help support each other's claims to the Spanish throne.
After his father's death, Ferdinand becomes king at the age of 25.
The fundamental premise of this song is that after death, man, who is a part of nature, turns into other natural items. Ferdinand's father's body has been transformed into something more precious and odd. His bones have turned like coral, and his eyes have turned into pearls. These comparisons show how fragile and temporary human life is and urge people to live each day as if it was their last.
Ferdinand believes his father is at peace because he has joined the church. However, later in the song, it is revealed that Ferdinand's father was only pretending to be dead so he could continue stealing women's clothes and jewelry. He eventually gets caught by King Richard II and is executed by being hung upside down within the mouth of the sea.
Here we can see that nothing is what it seems. Even though Ferdinand thinks his father is at peace, he is actually jealous because his father has found a better life with the angels. As for Queen Isabel, she has also left her husband because she has found another man who loves her more than Ferdinand does. She too has gone to live with this new love interest.
So overall, the central idea of this poem is that nothing is as it seems. Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do. We should never judge others because we don't know everything about them or what they have been through in their lives. It is important to stay true to ourselves and follow our hearts.
The poem emphasizes the father's powerlessness in a very moving way. Because the father and son do not communicate with one another, quiet reigns. The father does not want his son to be apart from him, but his efforts are futile. Even though he tries hard to protect him, he can't prevent his own son from dying.
The father realizes that he will never be able to protect his son again, so he decides to let him go. This shows that even though fathers may seem weak, they can actually be very powerful if only they know how to use their strength.
Also, it can be said that the father lets his son die because there is no other choice for him. If he kept him safe, then the son would have never learned how strong he really was. Therefore, the father chooses to let him go so that he can grow up and become an adult someday.
In conclusion, the father lets his son die because there is no other choice for him. Letting your child go is the hardest thing a parent could ever do, but it is necessary at times. It is important for parents to understand that they cannot protect their children forever. When they grow up and learn what real power is, they will realize that they did not die after all.
