Summary "Der Sturm; oder: Die bezauberte Insel" by William Shakespeare is a play written during the late 16th to early 17th century. The story revolves around Prospero, a rightful Duke of Milan, who uses his magical powers on an enchanted island to orchestrate a storm that shipwrecks those who wronged him, including his usurping brother Antonio and King Alonso of Naples. The opening of the play sets an intense tone with a fierce storm at sea, as characters struggle to manage the chaos aboard their ship. The shipmaster and the boatswain rally the crew to fight against the tempest while nobles like Alonso and Antonio express their fears of impending doom. Meanwhile, on the enchanted island, Prospero reassures his daughter Miranda that no harm has come to the ship's passengers, revealing the extent of his magical abilities. As he explains their past and his motives for creating the storm, it becomes clear that the narrative will delve into themes of power, betrayal, and the quest for justice.
