The following question is based on your reading of “life is a dream.” name a character who goes through a process of self-discovery in this play. how do they change? what do they learn?

In "Life is a Dream" we have several characters that go through a process of self-discovery. Sigismund the King's son and heir of the throne who is incarcerated due to a prediction made to the King about his son becoming a monster which destroys all his land... Later on time when he's taken out of his enclosure he is told to be dreaming, which he believes since he was drugged every time he was going to be transported because of his untamed behavior, after all this he becomes pacific and polite extremely respectful of others and he learns to control himself under the concept that all his experiences ae a dream and he'll eventually wake up.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
