The former Duke of Milan Prospero organizes a storm to revenge on his enemies who forced him to left his native land. Having assembled them on his island, Prospero chastises them for their past treatment of him and his daughter Miranda, but consequently he forgives them. The love of his daughter for Prince Ferdinand also helps to establish good relationships between the former enemies and everybody plans to return to Milan. I chose this kind of gist because it shows the theme of forgiveness, which is the main one in my opinion. The ability to forgive and sympathize to someone’s sorrow (even if these people hurt you) makes a difference between a true character and the others.
The magician and the former Duke of Milan Prospero and his daughter are exiled by his jealous brother Antonio. As revenge, he raises a storm during their Antonio and his supporters’ ship passing which result that they are on the island. At first, Prospero takes revenge on them but then forgives him, and allows his daughter Milana to marry King Alonso’s son. He finally established good relationships with his former enemies and they plan to return to Milan. I have chosen such a kind of gist, because I consider it rather short but at the same time very informational. It includes all important details of the play and gives the rough idea of the whole play. At the same time, it helps to form the main idea of the play and shows the main themes I have singled out earlier.
Well, it’s a bit difficult to choose the storyline I like the most. The episodes with Ariel were very interesting for me and his lifestory at all. The spirit of air Ariel lived in the island where Prospero and his daughter were sent. The evil witch wanted him to be her slaver and made all her orders but Ariel was too good for such variant and did not submit. For that the witch subjected him to the torture. He spent awful time in the tree, however, Prospero made him free but forced to work for the freedom. Ariel did what Prospero wanted and with gratitude waited for his final freedom from everyone.
Stranded on the same deserted island for twelve years, the former duke of Milan tries to explain the situation to his daughter, Miranda. He tells her the story of his brother and the king, who arranged for he and Miranda to be lost at sea, so his brother can have his title. He explains also that he conjured up the storm by magic and ensured that no one was harmed. Prospero then charms Miranda and to sleep, and summons his spirit servant, Ariel, to hear about the results of the storm. Prospero awakens Miranda and decides to visit another of his slaves, Caliban. The slave tries to get out of his enslavement, but because of previous crimes he's committed, Prospero threatens him into labor. Ariel makes sure that Ferdinand, the prince of Naples, runs into Prospero and Miranda. The young ones fall instantly in love, and in order to keep them so, Prospero enslaves Ferdinand.
It's really difficult to find the best storyline for me , but I should say, that I was impressed by the struggle between Prospero and Caliban - because that was the battle between a lord, a man of fortune, a noble and gentle "high-grade" man with strongly ingrained views of a Ruler against the slave, the voice of the nature, a creature, with a secret force in the mind. The slave, who could became a Man and to find the Truth during his wanderings and meeting with the civilization and society. He made himself to fight with his nature disgrace, insolence,ruthless and amorality 0 but he did it his way, and here can be used the term "noble savage", as the whole storyline was dedicated to the process of moral and physical formation above dirty and feeble mind - the concept of an idealized indigene, outsider, or "other" and refers to the literary stock character.
