The Tempest is a play by English playwright William Shakespeare, probably written in 16101611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servantsCaliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In Act IV, a wedding masque serves as a playwithinthe play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language.Though The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeares comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeares late plays. The Tempest has been put to varied interpretationsfrom those that see it as a fable of art and creation, with Prospero representing Shakespeare, and Prosperos renunciation of magic signaling Shakespeares farewell to the stage, to interpretations that consider it an allegory of Europeans colonizing foreign lands.
