| Summary | "Shakespeare's Comedy of The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is a renowned play written in the early 17th century. This narrative is centered around themes of power, betrayal, and redemption, highlighting the complex relationships between characters stranded on an enchanted island. The play's titular character, Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, employs magic to orchestrate events that will lead to his reclaiming of power, alongside his daughter Miranda. At the start of the play, a ship is caught in a fierce storm, suggesting turmoil to come. Characters including Alonso, the King of Naples, and his brother Sebastian, among others, are depicted frantically trying to manage the chaos on deck as the ship is threatened with disaster. Meanwhile, on the island, Prospero reassures Miranda, his daughter, that the shipwreck was part of his plan to bring their enemies to him, revealing their backstory and the betrayal he faced from his brother Antonio. The opening sets an ominous yet magical tone, drawing the audience into a world where the elements and spirit characters play significant roles in the unfolding drama.
