Step-by-step explanation:

The Tempest is a play about magic, double-crossing, love, and pardoning. It is set on an island some place close Italy where Prospero, the one-time Duke of Milan, and his delightful little girl, Miranda, live with a sprite called Ariel and a bizarre wildman called Caliban. Prospero is an amazing performer who makes a tempest, or whirlwind, that sets the scene for the play.

At last, everybody is pardoned and they all set sail for home.
