Ariel is Prospero's slave/assistant as he/she made the tempest and scattered everyone about the island. He/she wants to be free.
In the Tempest (Act 4 scene 1) Shakespeare has Prospero say: These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air:
In Act 1, Scene 2 of "The Tempest," Shakespeare presents Ariel as a loyal servant to Prospero, eager to fulfill his commands in hopes of gaining freedom, highlighting his ethereal, obedient nature. In contrast, Caliban is depicted as a resentful and rebellious figure, reflecting his deep-seated anger towards Prospero for subjugating him and stealing his island. Their relationship with Prospero underscores themes of power and colonialism, with Ariel representing a more compliant, hopeful spirit, while Caliban embodies resistance and bitterness against oppression. This dynamic sets the stage for the exploration of control and liberation throughout the play.
Prospero is the name of the main character in Shakespeare's play The Tempest.
In Shakespeare's play the Tempest, they are marooned on a small island in the Meditteranean.
Prospero's slave was a spirit named Ariel in William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest." Throughout the play, Ariel assists Prospero with his magical abilities and helps him manipulate events on the island.
Ariel is the magical spirit who Prospero releases from his control at the end of The Tempest.
Prospero was originally the Duke of Milan but he was removed from power by his brother Antonio who is the Duke of Milan at the beginning of the play. By the end of the play, Prospero is restored as the Duke of Milan.
In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Prospero's two slaves are Caliban and Ariel. Caliban is a beast-like, native inhabitant of the island who resents Prospero's rule, while Ariel is a magical spirit who serves Prospero willingly in exchange for the promise of freedom.

One school of thought, with which I agree, is that Caliban and Ariel both represent, in part, different aspects of Prospero's identity. It is also important to consider that Shakespeare may have aligned himself with Prospero (see the end of the play where Prospero gives up his book and staff); many think this most likely last play by Shakespeare is Shakespeare's way of saying he is retiring from writing. Keep in mind, too, that it is the good, the bad, and the ugly that make up human identity, and even those parts have their good, bad, and ugly aspects, as well. Shakespeare's works, God bless them and him, ask the audience to think deeply about human actions, thoughts, beliefs, prejudices, motivations, dreams, aspirations, victories, failures, and much more. But Caliban and Ariel play other roles that address the human interests I have just mentioned. Shakespeare, thankfully, never made it easy. :o)
No, Prospero is not a Roman god. Prospero is character from the Shakespearean play entitled 'The Tempest.'
In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Miranda's father is Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan. He is a powerful magician who was exiled to a remote island, where he raised Miranda after her mother's death. Prospero's love and protection for Miranda play a significant role in the narrative, particularly in her interactions with other characters, such as Ferdinand.
