Summary
William Shakespeare: The Tempest
The main theme is the conflict between Prospero, Duke of Milan, who is also a powerful sorcerer, expelled from Italy by the usurper brothers Antonio and Alonso, who threw him into the sea. He finds a new (fictional) island in the middle of the Mediterranean and tries to establish rule over the natives there. Although at first it seems that this is a story about art, nature and love, it is actually about the issue of the colonization of America, therefore a completely contemporary topic for the time in which it was written.
