Description: Prospero, once Duke of Milan, has for ten years been living on an island with Miranda, his only child, attended by Ariel, a spirit of the air, and Caliban, a deformed savage. Prospero is a magician. By his art the ship containing his borther Antonio, the usurping Duke of Milan, and Alonso, the King of Naples, is run aground on the island. Alonso's son, Ferdiand, separated from the rest of the party, meets Miranda. They fall in love with each other, to Prospero's delight. By the aid of his magic, Prospero brings home to the King of Naples and his brother the realisation of their wickedness. He then causes all to appear at his cell, where ancient wrongs are reconciled in the betrothal of the young couple.
