The Tempest was not written to communicate a moral; it was not written for a Sunday School Class. It was written to entertain. The audience may derive a better understanding of something by means of the action of the play, but that depends entirely on what the audience wants to take away from it.

In any case, of all of Shakespeare's plays, The Tempest is one of the least didactic and most ambiguous. What kind of silly moral would you propose: that if you keep a girl from seeing other people, she'll fall for the first man she sees?
