Summary "La Tempête" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the early 17th century. The play explores themes of power, betrayal, and redemption, focusing on the character of Prospero, a sorcerer and the rightful Duke of Milan, who orchestrates a grand revenge against those who wronged him, all while navigating relationships with his daughter Miranda and the magical spirit Ariel. At the start of the play, a violent storm rages at sea, threatening a ship carrying Alonso, the King of Naples, and his companions. The ship is lost to the tempest, and the audience is introduced to Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who have been living in isolation on a mysterious island. Prospero reveals to Miranda the backstory of their exile; he was usurped by his brother Antonio, and she learns about their noble heritage. Meanwhile, Ariel, Prospero’s magical servant, carries out the master's will by ensuring the shipwreck while maintaining the safety of the passengers. This sets the stage for a series of encounters and revelations that will unfold as the characters interact in the enchanting world of the island. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
