Sanchez, Melissa E. "Seduction and Service in The Tempest." Studies in Philology. 105.1 (2008): 50–82. Print. Alonso, Sebastian and Antonio are politicians in some of the world’s most sophisticated states and are infected with corruption. They are now on an island – a rural, unsophisticated place from which they have no means of escape – where they can be refreshed and renewed because there are none of the structures of European political systems on this island. Another of Prospero’s servants. Caliban, the son of the now-deceased witch Sycorax, acquainted Prospero with the island when Prospero arrived. Caliban believes that the island rightfully belongs to him and has been stolen by Prospero. His speech and behavior is sometimes coarse and brutal, as in his drunken scenes with Stephano and Trinculo (II.ii, IV.i), and sometimes eloquent and sensitive, as in his rebukes of Prospero in Act I, scene ii, and in his description of the eerie beauty of the island in Act III, scene ii (III.ii. 130-138).

Meanwhile Caliban’s crazies are all off to kill Prospero, so Ariel distracts them with magical clothes and then chases them away with spirit dogs.

Alonso is the King of Naples. He helped Antonio to get rid of Prospero and take his brother’s place as Duke of Milan. He has two children, a daughter called Claribel and a son, Ferdinand. His fleet of ships is returning to Naples from Tunis but they are caught in a huge storm. Travelling with him is his son, his brother and other nobles. They are all washed up on the island after the storm, although Alonso thinks Ferdinand has drowned. When Alonso finally meets Prospero, he apologises and makes him Duke of Milan again. When he is reunited with Ferdinand and finds out about his engagement to Prospero’s daughter Miranda, he is delighted. Ferdinand and Miranda see each other and, as anticipated and directed by Prospero, they fall in love. The butler and the jester meet Prospero’s slave, Caliban, who believes he has a claim on the island, and together they plan to overthrow Prospero. I’ll be wise hereafter / And seek for grace. What a thrice-double ass / Was I to take this drunkard for a god’ (Caliban, 5:1) Timothy West, 1992 (voice of Prospero in abridged animated production for Shakespeare: The Animated Tales) Neill, Michael. ""Noises,/Sounds and sweet airs": The Burden of Shakespeare's The Tempest." Shakespeare Quarterly. 59.1 (2008): 36–59. Print.In some ways, Miranda matches these expectations. She is kind and generally does what her father tells her to do. When Prospero doesn’t want Miranda to see or hear something, he simply uses his magic powers to send her to sleep.

The daughter of Prospero, Miranda was brought to the island at an early age and has never seen any men other than her father and Caliban, though she dimly remembers being cared for by female servants as an infant. Because she has been sealed off from the world for so long, Miranda’s perceptions of other people tend to be naïve and non-judgmental. She is compassionate, generous, and loyal to her father. Alonso’s brother. Like Antonio, he is both aggressive and cowardly. He is easily persuaded to kill his brother in Act II, scene i, and he initiates the ridiculous story about lions when Gonzalo catches him with his sword drawn. Gonzalo Clare Savage, a protagonist of Michelle Cliff's novel No Telephone to Heaven, is frequently seen to be a modernised Miranda. [20] Miranda is featured in the 2019 novella Miranda in Milan, which imagines the events after The Tempest.

It was believed that women were the property of their fathers or their husbands. Women were expected to be kind and gentle. Strength, power and ambition were considered male characteristics.
