What starts the action of the play?

A storm raised by Prospero's magic

Prospero, the overthrown Duke of Milan, has lived on an island for twelve years with his daughter Miranda, the spirit Ariel and Caliban, son of the witch Sycorax.
Prospero uses magic to raise a storm and shipwreck his enemies: his brother Antonio, who took his dukedom, and Alonso, King of Naples, with Sebastian, Gonzalo and Alonso's son Ferdinand.
Ferdinand and Miranda fall in love. Antonio and Sebastian plot to kill Alonso, and Caliban plots with Stephano and Trinculo to kill Prospero; both plots fail.
Prospero forgives his enemies, frees Ariel, gives up his magic and returns to Milan. In the epilogue he asks the audience to set him free.

Power and control, colonialism (Prospero takes Caliban's island), forgiveness and revenge, magic, freedom and imprisonment.
Written around 1610–11, when Europeans were exploring and settling the Americas; accounts of a shipwreck on Bermuda (1609) may have inspired it.

A late play (romance) that mostly follows the unity of time: the action takes about the length of the performance.

Colonialism: One people taking control of another's land.
