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 "The Tempest," Antonio tries to convince Sebastian to commit regicide by plotting to kill his brother, King Alonso of Naples. He persuades Sebastian to seize the opportunity while Alonso sleeps, suggesting that they can take over the kingdom. Antonio's manipulation reflects his ambition and willingness to betray family for power, echoing his earlier betrayal of Prospero.
In Shakespeare's "The Tempest," Antonio is not friends with the King of Naples, Alonso. Instead, he betrays his brother, Prospero, and aids in the usurpation of Prospero's dukedom. While Alonso is initially unaware of Antonio's treachery, the two are not allies; their relationship is complicated by betrayal and power struggles. Ultimately, the play explores themes of reconciliation and forgiveness, particularly between Prospero and those who wronged him.
