Best Answer

Prospero wants revenge because Antonio and Alonso usurped him and sent him to the island--but he more forgives than revenges against them. Look at the end of the ye elves speech: he forgives Antonio. What they did was horrible, and anyone would want redemption for it. He really just wants his dukedom back, and that is all he takes; he wants to forgive them and get it.

Because the island that they all live on was previously Caliban's, until Prospero and his daughter Miranda came along and made Caliban their servant.
