2. Analyze how complex characters interact with other characters and advance
the plot.
In Act I, Prospero creates the storm that maroons Alonso and the others. In Act II,
Prospero does not appear on stage, but his plans begin to take shape. In Act III,
Prospero barely appears, yet he is the character responsible for much of the
advancement of the plot. Explain how Prospero moves the story along in Act III
without participating directly in the events. What might stop his plans from
succeeding?
