The Tempest

Meer over het boek

Set on a remote island, the narrative revolves around Prospero, a sorcerer grappling with themes of magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. Accompanied by his daughter Miranda and two unique servants—Caliban, a monstrous figure, and Ariel, a spirit—Prospero's complex character drives the story forward. The play features enchanting music and a wedding masque in Act IV, adding layers of spectacle and allegory to the tale. This work, believed to be one of Shakespeare's final solo efforts, showcases his mastery of language and thematic depth.
