The events from Acts I and II which would most likely categorize The Tempest as a tragedy is:

B. Sebastian and Antonio making plans to murder Alonso

According to the complete text, we can see that there was a plot to oust the legitimate Duke and take his throne and how Alonso was an object of a murder plot by Sebastian and Antonio

As a result of this, we can see that the best explanation of why the book The Tempest can be categorized as a tragedy is the plot of Sebastian and Antonio to murder Alonso.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

Answer from: christib

B. Sebastian and Antonio making plans to murder Alonso.

Explanation:

There were many telltale signs that painted Shakespeare's "The Tempest" as a tragedy from Acts 1 and 2 (besides, duh, it's Shakespeare, we all know it's ending with someone and/or everyone dying).

Perhaps because the play essentially opened highlighting the severity of Prospero's treatment to his loyal servent, Caliban. This showed the flaws of Prospero's nature.

Then you had Miranda's ignorance towards her looming fate, and her father's recklessness.

Then you have the fact that the play practically opens with murder, with the ongoing plot.

The storm wasn't so much the ill-boding of a tragedy as it was one brother barking at another brother. The storm was raised just interrupt Antonio, the current duke, because Prospero, his bro, was technically the rightful duke.

Because the answers are a BIT limiting, I'd say B is your best option here. If there were a second choice, I wouldn't entirely eliminate D, but I can confidently state that D is less likely to be correct just because having multiple plots doesn't necessarily foreshadow the play's tragic roots, it just adds to the story leading UP to that. Again, having multiple plots doesn't neccesarily reveal tragedy, and if anything, it might even obscure the tragedy in the story for some time.

B is your best bet :)

D is a last resort.

The other choices are rather ludicrous.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
