What role do the Harpies play in III. Why do you think he is so concerned about this? I believe that he is concerned about this because her royalty will be damaged. For the benefit of Ferdinand and Miranda, Prospero has Ariel stage a masque, or symbolic pageant, celebrating betrothal and marriage IV. Ceres, goddess of the harvest and fertility, and Juno, goddess of marriage, as well as Iris, the goddess of the rainbow associated with covenant or contract , all have speaking parts.

He Prospero is showing his mastery over the island. He's trying to keep control of his daughter…though losing to love. And he's trying to test Ferdinand's character and make him work to demonstrate his love of Miranda.
It's a test, like those in fairy tales and myths. It's like his treatment of Caliban because both must labor for Prospero due to his authority and magic and both want Miranda. It's unlike because it will end. Prospero pretends not to agree to them getting married straight away and tests Ferdinand's love. They meet Caliban , a creature from the island who Prospero treats like a slave.
Caliban hopes Stephano and Trinculo will help him get rid of Prospero. Ariel appears to Alonso and his nobles and tells them they are being punished for how they treated Prospero. Alonso apologises to Prospero and makes him Duke of Milan again.
Prospero then reveals to Alonso that Ferdinand is still alive and is engaged to Miranda. Ariel punishes Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo for trying to harm Prospero and also reveals that the ship is safe and ready to sail back to Naples.
The following summary from the Little Angel Theatre company is a great way to introduce the story of The Tempest to a group of students who are getting to know the play and can even be used to think about how they might stage their own versions with puppets or objects.
You can also print the ten lines on this page and ask students to work in pairs to arrange them in the order they take place in the play. Help us by taking a short survey — it will only take a few minutes and will help us make the Shakespeare Learning Zone even better for everyone.
