Prospero Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Prospero is the protagonist in The Tempest, a play by William Shakespeare.He was the Duke of Milan who (with his daughter, Miranda) was sent off on a boat to die by his brother Antonio so that he could become duke. As Milan is a landlocked city, it is not clear how Antonio did this. Prospero and Miranda survived on the boat and found exile on a small island where he learned sorcery. On the island, he became the master of Caliban and Ariel.
By chance, Antonio sails near this island and Prospero conjures a storm that forces him (and other characters) ashore. Prospero regains his dukedom from Antonio through the events of the play.
His final soliloquy is considered to be one of the most memorable speeches of Shakespeare. Because of his powers, some believe that Prospero represents Shakespeare, James I or God. It is likely that the character was based on or at least inspired by John Dee, a philosopher with a reputation as a magician in Shakespeare's time.
