Compare (and contrast?) Hermione with her daughter Perdita as hostesses (I, ii and IV, iv). You will find it interesting to learn that these two roles were thought so comparable that they were actually played by the same actress in some nineteenth-century productions.

According to the WMO, disasters like Katrina have become more frequent and catastrophic because of global warming. In addition, many scientists find that global warming is correlated to other natural disasters.
