The tempest is a play by Shakespeare in the play their is a tempest. A tempest is a violent storm. In the play Ariel, Prospero’s slave creates a tempest this starts the story by putting the other charecters on the island with Prospero. If Ariel had not of created this tempest their would be no story. So the tempest in the story plays a big part even though it only plays a role in the first act. This is probably why Shakespeare calls the play, The Tempest. The tempest in the story plays the the biggest role also for making Trinculo meet Caliban and Stephano because the tempest caused Trinculo to seek for shelter. This is when he met Caliban under a gaberdine then Stephano came along. Without these charecters meating thier wouldn’t be the hound’s, fury silver and mountain.
