the Tempest

The tempest is a book about a Lord Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who gets banished to an island by Prospero's brother and the king, where they live for many years. Years later, the king, Prospero's brother, and others are shipwrecked on Prospero's island and Prospero, having studied magic twists Fate so Miranda and himself end up on top.
Well this is Shakespeare, so this may be a bit confusing, but I have some ways on making it easier to understand Shakespeare (see my post on making Shakespeare easier to understand). Now, I Love Shakespeare, but it’s cool if you have a little trouble. It’s hard. The comedies can be a little easier in my experience, and more fun to read.  It's my second favorite Shakespeare book, after Midsummer nights dream. The play is fun to watch after you've read it. 

what's your favorite Shakespeare play? have you read the tempest?
