Tempest
'Tempest' Summary
The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare that tells the story of Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, who has been unjustly exiled to a remote island with his daughter Miranda.

The play explores themes of revenge, forgiveness, power, and the nature of justice. Prospero's journey toward reconciliation with his enemies and his ultimate decision to relinquish his magic are central to the play's complex moral landscape.Book Details
