In the first scene a storm rages at sea. On board the ship are Alonso( King of Naples), Sebastian (his brother), Ferdinand (the Prince) Antonio, Gonzolo and others. The fleet is delivering the King back to Naples after marrying his daughter, Claribel, to an African Prince. The King and his brother are ordered below decks, but as the boat buckles in the violent waters of the storm Antonio and Gonzolo go in search of the King and the Prince.
The second scene begins with Prospero and Miranda (his daughter) standing on the shore having just witnessed the shipwreck. In this scene we learn that Prospero, once the Duke of Milan, abandoned politics in pursuit of his studies. He tells Miranda that it is sheer luck that such a storm could bring his former enemies to his island. Miranda is unmoved by his story and eventually drifts off to sleep. Prospero then summons his spirit, Ariel, who we learn is responsible for creating the storm that shipwrecked Prospero’s former enemies, Alonso and Sebastian. Ariel alone, was the wind, thunder and lightning which brought the ship down, but as commanded by Prospero, he made sure that each of the men survived and were dispersed among the island. The rest of the crew “were charmed to sleep” and arrived safely ashore. We also learn that the spirit, Ariel, is indebted to Prospero for rescuing him from an evil witch, Sycorax.
The scene continues as Ariel ushers in Ferdinand, the Prince of Naples. Miranda having never seen another human with the exception of her father and their servant, Caliban, instantly falls in love. Prospero accuses Ferdinand of pretending to be the Prince and has the “charmed and helpless” Ferdinand imprisoned. Prospero then summons Ariel for another mission.

Enter ALONSO, SEBASTIAN, ANTONIO, GONZALO, ADRIAN, FRANCISCO, and others
