Prospero explains to his daughter, Miranda, how the two of them came to be living on the island.
Episode 2
The storm rages and wakes Miranda. She is not happy when she learns what her father has done. She wants to know why he鈥檚 endangering the passengers of a passing ship. Prospero clicks his fingers and the storm stops. Then he tells Miranda the whole story鈥
How he's not just a wizard; how he was once Duke of Milan; how he was betrayed by his brother, Antonio, who threw him - and the young Miranda - into a boat with the intention of losing them both at sea; how his old friend, Gonzalo, threw his science books into the boat with them as they were leaving and how after 12 years of study he has come to be a great magician.
Prospero then explains that on the boat are all the people responsible for his current situation, including his brother Antonio.
Ariel arrives with news that the passengers from the ship have landed safely on the island, split up in various locations - just as Prospero had ordered.
