What do you think about the figure of Prospero in The Tempest Is he a real powerful wizard Or did Shakespeare want to make him only a self-styled wizard?
Prospero does seem to have power over Ariel. In Act IV Scene I we have this exchange: Ariel: What would my potent master? Here I am. Prospero: . . . Go bring the rabble O'er whom I give thee power here, to this place. Ariel (whose magic it is that causes the Tempest, confounds the shipwrecked mariners and so on) calls Prospero "potent" or powerful, and Prospero says that he has given power to Ariel. Ariel clearly believes that he cannot have his freedom unless Prospero grants it. If Prospero were only a self-styled wizard, it would be odd that Ariel, who is clearly a powerful magician, would be fooled. But it might be possible to present the play on the premise that Ariel for all his magic, is easily fooled and was so impressed by Prospero chopping open the tree Ariel was imprisoned in (something anyone with an axe might do) that he is convinced that Prospero must be a great magician. It is reminiscent of the reaction by Montezuma's Aztecs to Cortez. It would be interesting to try such an interpretation on the stage. But it is unlikely to be what Shakespeare had in mind.
