An experiential analysis of Shakespeare’'s "The Tempest", produced for the Honors in Multimedia Scholarship Program. The name combines the word “riven,” which means broken and “scry vision - playing on the argument that a story is not complete without its context - that each reading or performance is thus an incomplete or "broken" one.

Unlike other interpretations of The Tempest, this project has Sycorax, the mother of Caliban as its focus, a character who is dead at the time of the play’'s beginning, but whose presence lingers in the memories of the other characters, as Shakespeare's characters do in our memories today.

In this project, I argue that Sycorax represents a history of silenced female characters, and here create what is invisible in the play.
