I've already found one for visuals and that is Invention of Love.

I just need one for written one. Do you have any suggestions that explore aspects of discovery similar to The Tempest?

I have found Scission by Tim Winton, however there is a compilation of short stories.

Secrets, Tim Winton , 1983 short story (p. 1-6)

A Blow, a Kiss, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 7-13)

Getting Ahead (for Simon), Tim Winton , 1984 short story (p. 15-22)

My Father's Axe, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 23-33)

Wake, Tim Winton , 1982 short story (p. 35-39)

Lantern Stalk, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 41-49)

Thomas Awkner Floats, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 51-60)

Wilderness, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 61-80)

Neighbours, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 81-85)

A Measure of Eloquence, Tim Winton , 1984 short story (p. 87-98)

The Oppressed, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 99-109)

The Woman at the Well, Tim Winton , 1985 short story (p. 111-115)

Scission, Tim Winton , 1983 short story (p. 117-155)


Which of these 13 is the best suited for The Tempest?

I don't think the Invention of Love is a good related text for The Tempest.

I wouldn't suggest finding a list of stories and then 'picking the best one' from it for your related. The best way to decide on a related text is to look at the discovery concepts in the set text, and then go looking for poems or short stories etc that convey similar concepts.

Finding a list and then picking from it isn't the best strategy - there may not be anything appropriate on the list in the first place.

My suggestion for 'The Tempest' related material would be 'The Tell-Tale Heart' [short story] by Edgar Allen Poe.

PM me for more info :)

Maybe ' The Tell-Tale Heart' by Edgar Allen Poe (Shortstory)
or The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde(Novel)
