In the tempest by William Shakespeare why does Miranda have such immediate empathy for the men in the ship?

Miranda is naturally a very nice person, which is something of a miracle when you consider who her old man is. Thankfully, she shares absolutely none of her father's bitterness and resentment at the men responsible for their island exile. For her, an encounter with another human being is a rare treat: an opportunity to connect with someone who isn't her father (Prospero), an ugly brute (Caliban), or a Sprite (Ariel). So when a shipload of strangers washes up on the shore, Miranda's veritably thrilled at the prospect of making new friends.

What has shakespeare taught through his plays?
Shakespeare's plays were not intended as teaching vehicles. They were intended as entertainment. The more tickets they sold at the Globe, the more money they made. But because Shakespeare was such a very good playwright he was able to create characters of many different kinds who are in their essence, true to life. The forces which shape them are not much different from those which shape people today. Can we not feel Isabella's anguish in Measure for Measure when a man who is the equivalent of the chief of police tries to rape her: "To whom should I complain? Did I tell this, who would believe me?" Do we not feel the plea for humanity of the persecuted Jew Shylock when he says, "Hath not a Jew eyes? . . . fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?" Shakespeare, unlike his predecessors and many playwrights since, was able to put the audience's mind into the minds even of terrible villains, so we feel their despair and misery. Goneril's wretched "Ask me not what I know!" and Macbeth's terrifyingly bleak "'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." fill us with pity and horror. If we have any empathy at all, the characters in Shakespeare's plays teach us how we can have empathy for a great variety of people, with many kinds of faults.

This is a difficult question. It's very like asking about Shakespeare's personality, about which we know nothing. Did Shakespeare reveal his personal views in his plays? Certainly not.

The fact that Shakespeare was able to create such a broad variety of plausible characters does show that he had tolerance of and empathy for all kinds of different people.
