Description

"The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1610–1611. On a remote island, Prospero, a magician and former Duke of Milan, lives with his daughter Miranda and his servants—the monster Caliban and the spirit Ariel. When a ship carrying his treacherous brother passes nearby, Prospero conjures a storm that strands the passengers on his shores. Through magic and manipulation, he orchestrates events involving romance, conspiracy, and comic rebellion, all while pursuing his sophisticated plan for revenge and restoration.
