Alonso"s daughter, claribel, to the prince of tunis in africa. The royal party and the other mariners, with the exception of the unflappable boatswain, begin to fear for their lives. Lightning cracks and the mariners cry that the ship has been hit. Miranda and prospero stand on the shore of their island, looking out to sea at the recent shipwreck: miranda asks her father to do anything he can to help the poor souls in the ship. Prospero was the duke of milan until his brother antonio, conspiring with. Alonso, the king of naples, usurped his position. Kidnapped and left to die on a raft at sea, prospero and his daughter survive because gonzalo leaves them supplies and prospero"s books, which are the source of his magic and power.
