    The Tempest: Analyze the moral development of Prospero’s character in the set scene with particular reference to his use and misuse of power. It is clear that Prospero’s character develops significantly throughout the course of the play; it seems that he becomes reconciled with the idea of not controlling everything and so events begin to un-fold before him. It seems that his own morals start to overtake his needs to take physical revenge on his enemies‚ he becomes more sympathetic and humane
