Summary

The theme I chose is Power & Control. Prospero talks to a spirit named Ariel. He reminds Ariel of the past, emphasizing how he rescued him and asserting his power over him. He explains that how Prospero's magical abilities give him control not only over natural elements but also over supernatural beings on the island. This sets the stage for the play's exploration of power dynamics, manipulation, and dominance, as Prospero seeks to control the destinies of those around him.
