What is Prospero's age in The Tempest?

He is a mature man, as he has a fifteen-year-old daughter who was born when he was Duke of Milan. He is often played as a very old man, as the last major Shakespearean role undertaken by a Shakespearean actor, shortly after King Lear. But he could easily be portrayed as a man in his forties. The text itself gives no indication of his exact age.

Is prosperos treatment of Ariel understandable?

Sure. Prospero did Ariel a favour, and he expects a favour in return. Some might think that Prospero demands too much of Ariel, or indeed that he should not demand anything of him at all, since any compassionate person would have saved Ariel from the tree if he could. But there are many people out there who demand a large compensation for doing a small favour. It may not be admirable, but it is very human.
