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.

They resent Prospero for usurping Antonio's position as Duke of Milan and believe that eliminating him will allow them to take over and assert their dominance. Their conspiracy reflects themes of ambition, betrayal, and the struggle for power that permeate the play.
Betrayal and forgiveness
