Prospero ends the play by gathering the crowd of sinners and innocents. where he then welcomes Gonzalo (for helping him), forgives Alonso (who repents usurping him), warns Antonio and Sebastian (for their betrayal throughout the play) and forgives Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo (for their attempted murder). in addition he frees Ariel from her hard labour and service. The play starts off with revenge and anger but then ends with forgiveness and repentance for the deeds of all the characters.
Caliban wants revenge on Prospero for taking his island. He finds this opportunity through Stephano and Trinculo as they plot his murder. The ironic factor is that Prospero was both usurped and a usurper. Thus they share the common motive of revenge.
This event was the most
important as it frames the
storyline of the whole play.
Prospero was usurped by his
brother Antonio, with the help
of the King of Naples Alonso,
so he brought them to 'his' island,
through a storm, aiming to seek
his revenge.
Antonio encourages Sebastaian to plot the murder of King Alonso, in order to gain power over Naples (like Antonio gained Dukedom of Milan). This could be considered as a major act of betrayal kindling the feelings of revenge and repentance.
