Summary "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is a play written during the early 17th century, which is often characterized as part of the English Renaissance. The narrative unfolds on a mystical island inhabited by the exiled Duke Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and various other fantastical and human characters, exploring themes of power, betrayal, and redemption. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a tumultuous scene at sea, where a ship is in the midst of a violent storm initiated by Prospero’s magical abilities. The passengers, including King Alonso of Naples and his entourage, are in a state of panic as their ship is threatened by the tempest. Meanwhile, on the island, Prospero and Miranda discuss the storm's repercussions, revealing their past and how they came to live in this isolated place. The opening sets the stage for themes of magic and manipulation, as Prospero prepares to confront those who wronged him while maintaining a protective and guiding role over his daughter.
