What are the special formal attributes of this kind of source? What is the tone of the source?

Questions on Shakespeare, The Tempest  Topic 1, Attitudes towards Race and Slavery:   In Shakespeare’s The Tempest what do the contrasting characteristics of Ariel and Caliban tell us about Elizabethans’ ideas about who can be justly enslaved?
