To find out when the poem "Full Fathom Five" by William Shakespeare was written and whether it is part of "The Tempest," you can follow these steps:
1. Start by conducting a search on a reliable search engine like Google.

4. Open a few of the top search results to gather information about the poem's background and its connection to other works.

Regarding "Full Fathom Five," here's a brief explanation:
"Full Fathom Five" is indeed a poem written by William Shakespeare, but it is not part of "The Tempest" directly. It is actually a song sung by a character named Ariel in Act 1, Scene 2 of "The Tempest." The song serves as an important element of foreshadowing and introduces the theme of transformation and rebirth. The poem describes the burial of someone "full fathom five" (meaning five fathoms—a unit of measurement for depth) under the sea. It has a melodic quality that adds a mystical atmosphere to the play.
If you would like more detailed information or a deeper analysis of the poem, you can read scholarly articles, books, or dedicated analyses of "The Tempest" and its songs. These sources are often written by experts in Shakespearean studies and can provide valuable insights into the poem's themes, literary devices, and historical context.
I am also analyzing the poem "Where the Bee Sucks, There Suck I". I know this poem is part of "The Tempest". Where are these poems included in "The Tempest"? Was it written in 1610?
The lines that begin "Full Fathom Five.." appear in Act 1 Scene 2 of The Tempest, where they are part of "Ariel's Song". The Tempest was written during the period 1610-1613; no one seems to be sure of the exact year.
The lines that begin "Where the bee sucks.." appear in Act 5, scene 1 of the same play.
Yes, Those poems are part of "The Tempest"
