In the beginning of the tempest, Prospero is introduced in act 1 Scene 2 where he tellvs Miranda about the tempest that has happened and how the ship had crashed. Prospero tries to say he has created this tempest for her safety. Then Prospero tries and says that he done no harm to anyone as its says on line 13 ” There’s no harm done.” So Prospero tries to be careful with his words to stop Miranda crying and being sad for the injured people that Prospero has harm in the tempest. Also in the scene we are introduced to Ariel who is a spirt that is loyal to Prospero and will help him whenever. We find out that Ariel had gone on the ship whilst it was burning. And we find out that Prospero made Ariel start the tempest and burn the ship so Prospero could face his enemies.
Later on in act 1 Scene 2 we are introduced to Caliban. Prospero and Caliban hate each other as the insult each other like when Caliban says “With raven’s feather from unwholesome fen drop on you both!” This shows that Caliban responds to Prospero by saying that an unwholesome fen will drop on Prospero and Maranda. In this scene Caliban says that the island was his mother’s and his mother gave it to him so he is the owner of the island. I know this because he says ” This island’s mine by sycorax my mother”
Next, in this play we see Prospero in act 3 scene 1. In this scene we find out that Ferdinand loves Miranda and Prospero does not like this idea so he makes test of his love to Miranda. I know Ferdinand is in love with Miranda because Firdinand says ” Indeed the top of admiration, worth What’s dearest to the world.” This shows to me that Ferdinand really loves Miranda. Also i know Prospero hates the idea of Ferdinand and Miranda in love. I know this because Prospero says ” poor worm thou art infected; this visitration.” This means that Ferdinand love is just a disease.
At the end of the Tempest Prospero appoliges to everyone and in the epologe he says ” As you from crimes would pardoned be, Let your indulgence set me free ” this means that Prospero wants to be freed of this his usurped.
In the whole of the play the theme of revenge has been shown. I know this because Prospero started the the tempest to get his enemies to the Island so he can take revenge on them but all of this changes Prospero’s mind and he wants to be free and leave them alone.
