This engaging summary presents an analysis of
The Tempest by William Shakespeare, which tells the story of Prospero, the former Duke of Milan, who was usurped by his brother Antonio and marooned on an island with his daughter Miranda. When the men who betrayed him sail past the island, Prospero commands Ariel, a nature-spirit he has bound to his will, to raise a mighty tempest and shipwreck them. While he harnesses Ariel’s powers to subject the noblemen to a number of trials, a drunken jester and butler encounter Prospero’s other slave, Caliban, who tries to convince them to murder him. Over the course of the play, Shakespeare explores a number of weighty topics and incorporates elements drawn from many genres, creating a play that is as multifaceted as it is timeless.
The Tempest is one of Shakespeare’s best-known problem plays, and has been performed frequently since it was first published in the early 17th century.
