Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction
Words: 637 / Pages: 3 .... pg. 2)
When the true nature of the trap is revealed, Ryker states "If we resist
we die. If we don't resist we die." Neither action nor inaction was the key to

drunk servants. During the duration of the story their drunkenness causes
them to do things that normally they wouldn't do. They blindly attempt to
take on Prospero, a powerful sorcerer and scheme how to defeat and kill him.

Of course their attempt to take on Prospero proves to be futile, instead
they play dress up with his cloaks and when Prospero shows up, Stephano and
Trinculo run for their lives and leave Calaban behind carrying the clothes

cannot be explained to us. What is more important, however, is that how the
technology works is irrelevant for the purpose of the movie, which is to

knows that because of their ethnic origin, they will have a constant struggle to
