The story follows Prospero, a rightful duke who has been usurped from his position and has spent years in exile with his daughter Miranda.

As the play unfolds, themes of forgiveness and reconciliation emerge, particularly through Prospero's interactions with those who wronged him and his efforts to impart lessons of compassion.
