| Summary |
"Η τρικυμία" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the early 17th century. This work falls under the category of classic drama and explores themes of power, revenge, and redemption. The story centers around Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, who has been exiled to a deserted island with his daughter Miranda, where he has learned powerful magic. The opening of the play introduces a tumultuous scene at sea, where a ship is caught in a violent storm orchestrated by Prospero’s magic. As the ship’s crew fights to maintain control, we are introduced to various characters, including Alonso, the King of Naples; Sebastian, his brother; and Antonio, Prospero's usurping brother. Amid the chaos, we see Miranda expressing concern for those aboard the ship, unaware that her father is behind the storm. This sets the stage for the unfolding drama, where themes of betrayal and the quest for justice begin to emerge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
