Resumo

In "Epilogue: Afterlives of Ariel’s Ecology," Monique Allewaert reflects on the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's The Tempest, particularly the character Ariel, in understanding ecological consciousness. She examines how Ariel's ambiguous status—as a spirit bound to servitude yet yearning for freedom—resonates with contemporary anxieties about human relationships with the natural world. Allewaert explores the play's engagement with early modern colonialism and its implications for ecological thought, arguing that Ariel's plight prefigures the complex ethical dilemmas surrounding environmental exploitation and the struggle for ecological justice. The epilogue considers how Ariel's story continues to inform and inspire ecological awareness, prompting reflection on the interconnectedness of human and non-human life and the urgent need for sustainable practices.
