Prospero
The magician Prospero is the main character in the play, both as the focus as well as the orchestrator of all the action. As the duke of Milan Prospero was too focused on magical study and left the running of his dukedom to his brother Antonio, who eventually deposed him. Exiled to an island, Prospero and his daughter Miranda have lived in near isolation for 12 years. During that time Prospero has become a more powerful magician. When fate brings the men who conspired against him within reach, Prospero uses his powers to elevate his daughter's position in society and program revenge against his enemies, including the very brother who took his dukedom from him. In the end Prospero abandons his plan for vengeance and forgives his enemies of their offenses. He regains his dukedom and plans to return with his newly engaged daughter to Italy.

Miranda
Exiled with her father when she was only three years old, Miranda has grown up on an island with no humans other than her father and their slave, Caliban. When she meets Ferdinand she is awed by his beauty and immediately falls in love. As she is exposed to more people, she cannot help but be amazed by all that humanity can be. Engaged to her beloved Ferdinand at the end of the play, she prepares to travel to Naples for their wedding. Miranda's name means "to wonder at or be admired," and she generally acts with wonder and admiration to most of what she sees, including the ship, Ferdinand, her father's explanation of how she came to live on the island, and the other nobles.

It is primarily Ariel's magic Prospero uses to manipulate the other characters throughout the play.

He soon realizes that the new master is worse than Prospero.
