Question

What role does the sea storm play in the development of the plot?

Answer 1

Answer:

In The Tempest, the storm at sea serves as the plot's inciting event. The storm washes Prospero's enemies onto the island's shore, placing them at his mercy. He controls the island, and by forcing them to face him on his own turf, Prospero claims an automatic advantage over King Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian
