Prospero (in the Tempest) forgives his enemies. Were I one of the academics who served the highest things at Tulsa, especially in its latest configuration which itself involved a lot of forgiving of past sins, I would find it very hard to forgive those responsible for this.

Prospero forgives in victory.

So did Lincoln.

I recommend imitating them & achieving victory first, of course.

There's something to Frey that reminds me of Prospero 1.0, as you suggest -- the discussion of what she calls her devastation involves neither an actor, an agent of devastation, nor a motive for it. Things just happen by magic... Not serious.
