and explains to her that he will now tell her who she is and why they are on the island. Miranda seems interested but wary, noting that Prospero has often begun telling her this tale but has stopped short.

Prospero explains away all of his former enemies being shipwrecked on the island as mere coincidence. Almost immediately, Miranda comments that she is very sleepy and succumbs to her fatigue (or Prospero's spell).

Ariel explains what Miranda expected: under Prospero's orders, Ariel caused the tempest which Miranda had witnessed. The boat was unharmed and docked safely at harbor, with the boatswain and mariners charmed to sleep below deck. Everyone else, Ariel reports, abandoned ship and was brought safely ashore to be dispersed about the island.

Prospero congratulates Ariel upon the perfect execution of his orders, and Ariel, emboldened by the praise, reminds Prospero of his promise to free Ariel early and asks if he might be freed immediately instead.

as he reminds Ariel of his previous master Sycorax, a banished witch from Algiers who left Ariel in his "cloven pine" cell indefinitely. Sycorax died while Ariel was still imprisoned, and he would have been forever had Prospero not rescued him. After all this, he calms down, promises to free Ariel in two days, and gives him new orders to "make thyself like a nymph o' th' sea" and be visible to only Prospero.

Prospero turns to Miranda and awakens her. Seemingly ignorant to the magic spell she was just under, Miranda blames her weariness upon the strangeness of Prospero's story.

Prospero suggests that they go visit their slave Caliban.

# data[].attributes.body
Caliban is the son of Sycorax and a native to the island. Miranda cries against seeing him, saying he is a "villain" but Prospero insists. Upon seeing him, Prospero immediately begins verbally abusing him, calling him wicked and telling him he is unfit to live among other human beings. Caliban protests this abuse and his enslavement (rightfully so), but Prospero calls him an ungrateful liar and reminds him of the education he tried to give Caliban. Caliban then responds that he only knows how to be wicked and lie because of this education. Prospero does not like this, and he sends him to fetch firewood under threat of more cramps and aches if he is not obeyed. The interaction is very racist.
