Summary

"The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1610–1611. On a remote island, the exiled magician Prospero 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 island.
