Please write 3 pages about Shakespeare’s Othello and The Tempest base on the below prompt.

Othello and The Tempest were written by Shakespeare after he had entered middle age, and interestingly enough, both plays feature older men as protagonists. In those plays, Shakespeare addresses the widely-shared anxiety of older men-the fear of losing power or authority as one age. Compare and/or contrast how Shakespeare addresses this theme with his portrayal of Othello and Prospero. Where and how does this fear of losing authority reveal itself? How do these men assert their authority, and over whom? How do these men respond to the threat ( or reality) of the loss of power or authority? What psychology drives or complicates their response to the threat of lost power?
