Power, be it political, knowledgeable, or other, can be abused.

Power comes from skill, knowledge, and experience - not status or title because status is a birth-given thing, not earned. In The Tempest, we can see at the beginning of the story when, on the ship when the tempest hit, the sailors took command and ordered the royals around, while the royals tried to argue that their status put them in charge, even though they had no knowledge or experience with the situation, and no skills related. The royals ended up backing down a bit after the sailors pointedly stated that they were saving their lives. The scene illuminates where real power comes from - and it's not a title.

Knowledge gives people power and perspective - because they know something that someone else does not, letting them see a different "truth". We can see this in The Tempest, when the three different groups are washed ashore. Ferdinand is heartbroken at the loss of his father, and surprised to be alive, believing himself to be the only survivor of the ship, whereas his father, Alonso, is also heartbroken, mourning the believed loss of his, while thinking only he and a few others had survived. These two events caused them to have different perspectives, Ferdinand looking further into the island and coming across Prospero, and Alonso staying with his group, while they debated and tried to cheer up their king with hopes of his son's survival.

Perspective and truth are relative, because truth relies on perspective to define it. This can be seen when Antonio stole the dukeship from Prospero. In his eyes, Prospero had abandoned his post, and hadn't been doing a good job anyways, so Antonio thought he was doing the right thing by stealing the throne. Prospero, however, had simply left the throne in his brother's care while he studied his books and magic, and when Antonio usurped him it seemed to him as a random betrayal without reason.

Power comes from skill, experience, and knowledge, not status. In The Tempest, Prospero easily takes control of Ferdinand, enslaving him - because he has skill and knowledge of magic, and experience using it, while Ferdinand is just a prince, a birth-given status that holds no real power. This manipulation and control of Ferdinand makes clear how powerful Prospero is in The Tempest, and how status has no real affect and can't compete against skill and knowledge.
