He is a mature man, as he has a fifteen-year-old daughter who was born when he was Duke of Milan.

What happens at the end of the tempest in regarding forgiveness?

The Tempest has many scenes centring around guilt or forgiveness. In particular, part way through, when Ariel presents the men who had chanced upon the island with a great feast. She shows them the food, makes them want it, then takes it away speaking about what they did to Prospero and Miranda. This comes to play in the end, as Prospero forgives those who had banished him years ago, primarily because he feels as though he has achieved what he needed to. He has made them feel alone, lost and guilty for the past, only after they feel this can he truly forgive them.

Why shouldn't prospero be the owner of the island in the tempest?

Caliban is the son of Sycorax, a witch in Prospero's eyes. Sycorax inhabited the island for years before giving birth to Caliban. Sycorax then passed away and Caliban believes the island is his by birthright. Prospero was once an important man in a large city but his brother betrayed him and banished him to this island. Prospero, arrived on the island with his daughter and took it as his own. Therefore, it was stolen from Caliban. However it is rightfully Calibans.

What are facts about the tempest?

The Tempest is about a man called Prospero, who used to be Duke of Milan but was soon betrayed by his own brother called Antonio whilst Prospero studied magic. He was sent out to sea on a boat with his daughter called Miranda, who has never seen a man except her dad and Caliban (who comes up at a later point). Prospero and Miranda soon find themselves on land that they have never seen before, where Caliban shows them around. 12 years later and Prospero is the ruler, with 2 slaves: Ariel, who is neither a Male nor Female. Then there is Caliban, the "dark creature" mentioned before, who does his best to disobey Prospero. Prospero soon discovers that a ship carrying Antonio, Alonso and Ferdinand (the people who overthrew him) was passing near the island. With help from Ariel, Prospero summons The Tempest, a huge storm, to shipwreck them on the island. The stranded try to search for each other, hindered by Ariel along the way. Then Alonso and Ferdinand reunite, but Ferdinand finds Miranda and decides to marry her (without knowing that his father Alonso was the person who banished Prospero). Eventually the situation ends, and Prospero using his magic makes them all forgive each other, and then sets Ariel free. He gives up his magic and returns back home, with everyone except Caliban. Prospero is then reinstated as Duke of Milan. (Oh, and can people PLEASE stop answering if they are just going to go off topic)
