In Act 1 of "The Tempest," Prospero describes his enemies, particularly Alonso and Antonio, as treacherous and morally corrupt, having wronged him through betrayal and usurpation. Alonso, the King of Naples, represents the political power that has oppressed Prospero, while Antonio, his own brother, embodies personal betrayal. Both characters are depicted as flawed and culpable, contrasting with the noble qualities Prospero aspires to reclaim through his magic and reconciliation. Ultimately, their comparison highlights themes of revenge, justice, and the complexity of human relationships.
