Roarers for the name of king? To cabin! Silence! As all except Caliban and Ariel prepare to leave the island, Prospero, who has given up his magic, bids farewell to the island and the audience. Alonso, joyously reunited with his son, restores Prospero to the dukedom of Milan and welcomes Miranda as Ferdinand’s wife. Having all his enemies under his control, Prospero decides to forgive them.
The nobles from the ship search for Ferdinand and are confronted with a spectacle including a Harpy, who convinces Alonso that Ferdinand’s death is retribution for Prospero’s exile. Other castaways who appear are Trinculo and Stephano, Alonso’s jester and butler, who join forces with Caliban to kill Prospero and take over the island. After secretly watching Miranda and Ferdinand exchange vows, Prospero releases Ferdinand and consents to their marriage. Prospero secretly approves of their love, but tests the pair by enslaving Ferdinand. First is Alonso’s son Ferdinand, who immediately falls in love with Miranda. On the island, castaways from the wreck begin to appear. Prospero and Miranda are served by a spirit named Ariel and by Caliban, son of the island’s previous inhabitant, the witch Sycorax. Prospero had been banished twelve years earlier when Prospero’s brother, Antonio-also on the doomed ship-conspired with Alonso to become the duke instead. On a nearby island, the exiled Duke of Milan, Prospero, tells his daughter, Miranda, that he has caused the storm with his magical powers. That is the other reason why he forbids Miranda from telling Ferdinand her name: to put difficulties in their love and strengthen it withal.A story of shipwreck and magic, The Tempest begins on a ship caught in a violent storm with Alonso, the king of Naples, on board. He treats Ferdinand harshly so that Miranda will pity him and thereby love him more. He wants their love to overcome some difficulties so that they will not take it for granted. I must uneasy make, lest too light winning However, Prospero is worried that if their love is too easy, then they will not value it enough: Second, when Ferdinand, separated from the rest of his shipmates, meets Miranda for the first time, the two fall in love just as Prospero wants. That would expose his plans before they come to fruition. But if Miranda tells Ferdinand her name, there is a possibility he may recognize the name and understand who Prospero really is. So if Ferdinand and Miranda marry, Alonso will become Prospero's ally rather than Antonio's. The king of Naples, Alonso, had helped Antonio oust Prospero.
