The Tempest is a play about magic betrayal love and forgiveness. It is set on an island somewhere near Italy where Prospero the one-time Duke of Milan and his beautiful daughter Miranda live with a sprite called Ariel and a strange Wildman called Caliban. The Tempest is unlike any other play in Shakespeare's body of work. It takes place all in one day; it is filled with magic and spirits; it revisits many themes Shakespeare has tackled before; and it focuses on Prospero a main character who is totally in control of his own story.William Shakespeare's sonnet was first published in 1609. Its structure and form are a typical example of the Shakespearean sonnet. This sonnet attempts to define love by telling both what it is and is not. In the first quatrain the speaker says that love—” the marriage of true minds”—is perfect and unchanging; it does not “admit impediments” and it does not change when it finds changes in the loved one. Over the course of Sonnet 116 the speaker makes several passionate claims about what love is—and what it isn't. For the speaker (traditionally assumed to be Shakespeare himself and thus a man) true love doesn't change over time: instead it goes on with the same intensity forever.
