One island......with much activity!

Within the areas of this simple island there is an array of activity that is occurring. On one end there is the shipwrecked Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio and Gonzalo who are searching for Alonso's son, Prince Ferdinand. Already I am not very fond of Sebastian and Antonio because of their plot to kill Alonso so that Sebastian may become King of Naples. On the other side of the island the love of Miranda and Prince Ferdinand grows from his enslavement by Prospero, Miranda's father. It seems very hard to acknowledge their childish love when they barley know one another. However, I feel this is apart of a "magical" plan that Prospero has for his daughter. Lastly, on yet another part of the island there is Caliban, Trinculo, and Stefano. A rather odd threesomes with the commonality of always being drunk. Caliban, also know as the "servant monster" seems to be treated more fairly than Trinculo from Stefano. Why is that I wonder? Yet the three of them have a plot to destroy Prospero and have Stefano become "King" of the island as well as be wed to Miranda. By the manipulation of the "fairy" Ariel, Prospero learns of this plot. Although, I feel this is apart of Prospero plan to "control" the island and what is occurring by keeping an eye in on whats going on and using his sources to implement trouble where it may arise. By Prospero manipulating the island by his magically powers, he can truly further succeed in creating a relationship between Ferdinand and Miranda.
