The Tempest by William Shakespeare
"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—a monster and a spirit. When a ship carrying his treacherous brother passes nearby, Prospero conjures a storm that strands the passengers on his shores. He then sets in motion an intricate plan involving magic, romance, and manipulation to reclaim what was stolen from him, exploring
themes of revenge, forgiveness, and redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
