SYNOPSIS OF THE TEMPEST

This drama is one of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare.

The themes illustrated in the play are freedom, friendship, repentance and forgiveness and feature different temperaments illustrating temperance
and intemperance.

The plot starts when King Alonso of Naples and his entourage sail home for
Italy after attending his daughter's wedding in Tunis, Africa.

They encounter a violent storm, or Tempest.

Everyone jumps overboard and are washed ashore on a strange island inhabited by the magician Prospero who has deliberately conjured up the
storm.

Prospero and Miranda live in a cave on the island which is also inhabited
by Ariel, a sprite who carries out the bidding of Prospero, and the ugly, half human Caliban.

Various plots against the main characters fail thanks to the magic of Prospero.

The play ends with all the plotters repenting the Tempest is calmed.
