The Tempest by William Shakespeare

"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 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. Through magic and manipulation, he sets in motion an intricate plan involving revenge, romance, and redemption, exploring themes of betrayal, forgiveness, and family.
