Answer:

Most of what we learn of Prospero’s character is conveyed in what he tells Miranda, beginning with his assertion that he acts in her interests. The scene functions to provide the audience with the backstory for the play through Prospero’s explanation, presenting lengthy accounts of events ‘twelve year since’ (1.2.53). He describes his prior status as Duke of Milan, with anger and resentment outlining ‘perfidious’ (1.2.68) betrayal by his brother Antonio, ‘an enemy / To me inveterate’ (1.2.121–22). By contrast, he remembers fondly the ‘charity’ and ‘gentleness’ of his ‘noble’ friend Gonzalo who assisted their safe journey to the island (1.2.162–65).
