The Tempest 2.1, 149-157

Gonzalo:
I’ th’ commonwealth I would by contraries,
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
No use of metal, corn or win, or oil;
No occupation, all men idle, all;
And women too, but innocent and pure;
No sovereignty-

-Reverse of the normal ways of doing things
-The possibility of utopia on a new island
-Dystopia: characters are always haunted by the reality of dystpia since utopia is unattainable.
-No need for a ruler because humanity is inherently good
-Superiority of nature
