The Tempest by William Shakespeare
"The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1610–1611. After a violent storm shipwrecks a vessel, the survivors find themselves scattered across a mysterious island. There, the sorcerer Prospero lives with his daughter Miranda and his servants—a monster and a spirit. Prospero orchestrates events through magic, manipulating the castaways as he pursues his own hidden agenda. The play weaves together themes of betrayal, revenge, and forgiveness, blending enchantment with both
comic and tragic elements as long-buried secrets surface. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
