Meaning and analysis
Kwize Master
Ariel, a magical spirit in Prospero's service, reports on the storm his master had commanded him to sink his hated brother's ship. While he details the crash he created to scare sailors, he quotes Prince Ferdinand, who, jumping off the ship to save himself, claims that all demons must have escaped from hell to find themselves at the heart of this apocalypse.
