The Tempest by William Shakespeare
"The Tempest" 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 his servants—the monster Caliban and the spirit Ariel. When a ship carrying his treacherous brother passes nearby, Prospero conjures a storm that wrecks it. The survivors wash ashore, setting in motion Prospero's elaborate plan involving magic, romance, and revenge, as he confronts betrayal and contemplates
forgiveness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
