Summary "Ariel" by José Enrique Rodó is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an inspirational address to the youth, emphasizing the importance of ideals, spirituality, and the pursuit of cultural and moral excellence. Rodó uses the character of Próspero, a venerable teacher, to explore themes of human potential and the lofty aspirations of youth, contrasting these against baser instincts symbolized by Caliban, another character from Shakespeare's "The Tempest." The opening of "Ariel" introduces us to Próspero, a wise and respected teacher, as he bids farewell to his students at the end of the academic year. He invokes the spirit of Ariel, a character representing noble ideals and the higher faculties of the human spirit, as he prepares to impart his final thoughts. The teacher reflects on the nature of youth, portraying it as a time of vibrant potential and idealism, capable of generating significant change and illuminating the path towards a better future. The narrative sets a tone that is both reflective and aspirational, inviting the youth to embrace their power and responsibilities as they engage with the world.
