Abstract
<em>Hag-Seed</em> is a re-imagining story of Shakespeare's '<em>The Tempest</em>' written by Margaret Atwood, a famous Canadian writer. <em>Hag-seed</em> is a successful adaptation in The Hogarth Shakespeare Project organized by Hogarth Press. In this novel, Atwood adopts the form “play in play” to recur the whole scene of <em>The Tempest</em>. Through the depictions of minor characters in a prison, the novel presents the dilemma and struggle of marginalized protagonists in front of the power. In the novel, the play directed by Felix criticizes the power abuse and the social oppression suffered by the lower classes and women. Atwood's rewriting of The Tempest aims to reveal the loss of the humanistic concerns in modern society and advocate making “the other” acquire their rights to free speech.
