The Tempest is often considered to be the last work that William Shakespeare wrote by himself. It is an enchanting play to read and watch, as Prospero wields his magic powers, aided by the fiery spirit Ariel, to right a wrong done to him by his own brother 12 years before.
Loves books more than being a Duke, which helped his brother take over the throne; vengeful; fair; strict and mean to his servants; forgiving
