Scene two introduces the main character of the play, Prospero, Antonio's brother and the former Duke of Milan. Also introduced is Miranda, Prospero's fifteen-year-old daughter. At this point in the play, Miranda has already witnessed the shipwreck and the storm. She knows that Prospero's magic caused the disaster and is greatly disturbed by the horrid result.

Prospero is a master magician and governs over all of the fanciful creatures of the island. Such denizens include the airy sprite Ariel, and the deformed monster Caliban. The

After Ariel departs, Prospero summons the son of Sycorax, the monster Caliban. Miranda, who had been asleep during the conversation with Ariel, wakes up to witness this. Caliban, who has been enslaved for trying to violate Miranda, is sent by Prospero to gather wood.

Subsequent to this, Prospero explains to her why he caused the storm and informs her about their past. Prospero reveals to Miranda that his brother, Antonio, with Alonso's permission, usurped Prospero's position and estate. Then, he set him and Miranda, who was then two years old, out to sea on a porous sea craft. If Gonzalo had not provided them with food and water, they would have perished. However they landed on the island on which they now live. Alonso, at this point and time, has decided that the time has come to reckon with his brother and his accomplices, but has not told anyone but her about his plans.
