This is goIng to the other extreme and Ip taking too favourable a view of Dryden's participation In the 'perversion.' H i p p o l i t o, who had never seen a woman. Hippolito is fhe rightful heir to the Dukedom of Mantua, which has been usurped by Alonzo, who in the present play is Duke of Savoy, and not King of Naples as in Shakespeare. Hippolito, who as a child had been entrusted to the care of Prospero, had been put into the same boat as that in which Prospero had been cast adrift by his brother Antonio. He had been brought up on the Island by Prospero, who, however, had kept him in ignorance of the presence of any other human beings. As Miranda was already destined for Ferdinand, it was necessary to create another woman for Hippolito. This is done by giving Prospero another daughter, D o r i n d a, and by increasing the time of Prospero's exile from twelve to fifteen years, so that both girls might be of a marriageable age.. In order to complete the scheme of "Counterparts," Caliban is furnished with a sister, Sycorax, a monster as ugly as himself. Ariel, too, has a female counterpart, M i I c h a, waiting for him in the spirit-world.

Book Description
Sir William Davenant (1606–1668) – Poet Laureate and Civil War hero – is one of the most influential and neglected figures in the history of British theatre. He introduced ‘opera’, actresses, scenes and the proscenium arch to the English stage. Narrowly escaping execution for his Royalist activities during the Civil War, he revived theatrical performances in London, right under Oliver Cromwell’s nose. Nobody, perhaps, did more to secure Shakespeare’s reputation or to preserve the memory of the Bard.Davenant was known to boast over a glass of wine that he wrote ‘with the very spirit’ of Shakespeare and was happy to be thought of as Shakespeare’s son. By recounting the story of his eventful life backwards, through his many trials and triumphs, this biography culminates with a fresh examination of the vexed issue of Davenant’s paternity. Was Sir William’s mother the voluptuous and maddening ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and was he Shakespeare’s ‘lovely boy’?
