Summary

"La Tempête" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1610–1611. On a remote island, Prospero, a banished duke and magician, lives with his daughter Miranda and two 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 revenge, romance, and ultimately confronts questions of forgiveness and redemption before abandoning his powers forever.
