No. Prospero is however, sadistic. He revels in testing peoples resolve, and learning their true natures. He also applies the proper scorn and wrath to those who 'fail' his tests as he sees them as below him and expendable. As opposed to being a certified mental case, he is rather a self-professed Satanist, whose view of the world is derived from his utter cynicism about the nature of man, which he has come to accept, and it is not a very charitable asessment.

Embarrassing Story Section-What is your most embarrassing story for girls only?
I was waiting to leave for a school trip when I was a senior in high school. I had never been but to two Broadway plays my entire life. My counselor told me to come a little dressed up. I got up that morning and put on heels, dress shirt, and dress pants. Well I got to the school around 8am and waited for everyone else to get there. When they got there I was really embarrassed.

I hope this helps.
