The Tempest begins, conveniently enough, with a tempest. The courtiers – the main ones being Alonso (the King of Naples), Ferdinand (Alonso’s son), Antonio (the Duke of Milan), Gonzalo (adviser to the King), and Sebastian (the brother of the King) – are on board a ship with the Mariners and Boatswain. The storm worsens and chaos ensues.
