William Shakespeare: The TempestHow does Shakespeare use fate, in The Tempest, to change and control the range of characters, using Prospero's power and his magic?In literature, the Destiny or Destiny is a source of irony in literature; where characters can act without realizing the fate that the audience or reader is aware of. This is very true of that of the Tempest storyline. Shakespeare used Prospero's magical art, his great source of power, to influence and change the fate of the other characters in the play; for personal gain or for the good of others. His personal gain is seen by his plan to use his power and magic to take revenge against his brother Antony, who usurped his throne. For non-selfish reasons, she uses her power and magic to unite and create love between Miranda and Ferdinand throughout the play. Throughout the play, none of the characters are fully aware of Prospero's temptations with their destiny, but only the audience is fully aware of them. The Tempest with which the play opens is the result of Prospero's control. of the elements, where Prospero creates a storm at sea. Alonso, the king of Naples, is returning home after the marriage of his daughter, Claribel, to the king of Tunis. During the voyage the weather suddenly worsens and Alonso's ship is separated from the rest of the fleet and pushed towards an island. Miranda saw this shipwreck and asks her father, Prospero, to help the victims, especially since he is responsible for the storm. Prospero went out of his way to make sure no one was harmed and used his magical powers fully. f...... middle of the card ......to empower Prospero to carry out his plan on the couple. Miranda and Ferdinand take Prospero's criticisms at face value: "Speak not for him: he is a traitor." You come; I will bind your neck and your feet together: you will drink sea water; your food will be the mussels from the fresh stream, the withered roots and the husks in which the acorn is cradled. However, the audience realizes that Prospero has arranged the meeting between Ferdinand and his daughter in the hope that they will fall in love and thus heal the rift between Naples. and Milan. The punishment is created so that Ferdinand does not feel like Miranda is being won over too easily. Shakespeare gave power to Prospero to achieve this goal, and this is an example of how he uses magic and power for not personal gain, but that of love for his daughter and her happiness..
