Plot
1.
The play opens with the storm at sea (causes by Ariel
and Prospero) that wrecks the nobles and brings them to the island. Upon being
washed up on shore Ferdinand meets Prospero’s daughter Miranda and falls madly
in love with her. Meanwhile the other noble looks for Fernand (who is
imprisoned by Prospero) and are waylaid by Ariel several times. As Ferdinand works
as a servant for the wizard, Prospero sees that his love for Miranda is true
and allow them to marry. Then he sends for the nobles to be brought to him in
which Antonio is belated to see him so is alive. They all return to Naples
where Ferdinand and Miranda are married and Prospero returns to be duke of
Milan.
2.
The main themes of this play, are the treachery of
the nobles, the ability for forgiveness and the idea that love conquers all
3.
Shakespeare’s tone in the play is ominous, there
always seems to be some sort of impending doom. Whether it’s the spirits that
torment Caliban or the strange lightning storm that appears to foreshadow doom.

Characterization
2.
When characterizing Prospero the narrator uses
powerful syntax and large diction with commanding tone to show the power of
Prospero on the island
3.
The protagonist is a static character in that he
is very stereotypical knight in shining armor; Ferdinand always is hard working
and chivalrous.

After reading the book I felt I knew all the
stock characters when they were introduced and was not surprised by the
actions, save of course Prospero’s relinquishing of his magic.
