ABSTRACT
The Tempest is believed to be William Shakespeare’s independently written play. The Tempest must be the investigation of infantile amnesia in world literature. The Tempest deals with the difficulty a father has in allowing his daughter form a relationship with another man. Shakespeare is trying to explain to the readers the reasons for his abdication and unconsciously he is asking for their permission to do so. Shakespeare, disguised as Prospero, discovers what he considered a magic island through something akin to self-analysis. His own creativity was really based on a traumatic childhood experience that forces him to abdicate his magic, or creativity. If Caliban is part of Shakespeare, then Shakespeare just discovered that his creativity has enabled him to express his aggression. If the hypothesis advanced is correct, something can be added to the psychoanalytic theory of creativity. Shakespeare has described Prospero as motivated by two forces: his love for Miranda and his creativity.
