| Prospero is a white witch, he's a magus, and the person he defeated on the island in order to take it over, Sycorax, was a black witch. |
| Betrayed by his brother and the King of Naples, Prospero is forced to abandon his dukedom in Milan. |
| Why, then, did Prospero incite the elements to cause this ship to be tossed aground on his island? |
| Then Prospero puts Miranda, a figure of the spectator, to sleep while he calls upon his instrument, Ariel, described in the dramatis personae simply as an airy spirit. |
| With the help of his faithful spirit Ariel, Prospero conjures up a great storm causing a shipwreck on the shore nearby. |
