Hi;-)
1)--I would put what it is.
Ex. The main themes of Shakespeare's play; "The Tempest", are forgiveness, reconcilation.......
2)Are you referring to the play? The play ends in peace with music intensifying the atmosphere
3)Yeah, it works out
4)The most important theme in here is the......There are two kind of magic in this play, one is good and one is bad.
5)You could just say, Prospero's magic is used only for good purposes.
6)Yes
7)Yeah
8)Leave out the brackets stuff. It's good as it is.
9)It sounds okay
10)The novels had to be understood by everyone.
11)yes
12)I like the first one. The one in the brackets you could argue about. By saying you must be 18 if you want to drive a car--you are basically not really caring if that person has a license or not; from my opinion.
Overall very good effort put into your work. Keep it up.
Can you please check if the following sentences are possible? Just say "yes".
Thank you very much in advance

4) The most important theme is the element of magic.There are two types of magic in the play: maleficent and beneficent. (can you say "evil" and "good"?)
5) Prospero's beneficent magic is used only for good purposes.
6) The source of Prospero's magic are his wand, his books and his robe.
7) Sykorax's magic is maleficent (evil?) because it harms its victims and results from a pact with the devil.

2) I'd put a comma after "peace"
3) I'd put a comma after "him" although because it's followed by "and" sometimes it may be omitted.
4) Comma after "play". You can use "evil" and "good" although your first choice is more elegant English.
6) Here: The verb "to be" follows the subject "source of Prospero's magic", which is singular, and so it's "is" instead of "are". Sometimes "is or are" can be interchangeable.
7. "results from a pact", better: "results in a pact".
9. Comma after "himself"
10. Both forms: "by all people" (with or without "the"), or: "by everyone" are fine.
11. "detailed" is the correct spelling. :o)
12. Yes, it is possible but the first choice is nicer English.
