"Myrsky" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the early 17th century. The narrative primarily revolves around the character Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, who uses magic to orchestrate a shipwreck that brings his usurping brother Antonio and other nobles to the island where he now lives. The play explores themes of power, forgiveness, and the sublime nature of human emotions while intertwining elements of fantasy and romance. The opening of "Myrsky" introduces a chaotic scene at sea as a ship is caught in a violent storm. The ship's captain and crew struggle to control the vessel, while on board are Alonzo, the King of Naples, his brother Sebastian, Antonio (Prospero's brother), and Ferdinand, among others. Amidst the turmoil, we also meet Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who are on an isolated island after being displaced by Sebastian and Antonio's treachery. This section sets the stage for the unfolding drama, revealing the characters' desperation and hinting at the magical elements that define Prospero's character and the broader narrative arc.
