Question
What was the difference between Prospero and his brother Antonio?
Solution
Prospero and Antonio differed from one another in these ways:
- While Prospero was a noble, forgiving, and loyal individual; Antonio was clever, harsh, and disloyal.
- Prospero was a knowledgeable scholar who spent most of his time reading books, whereas Antonio focused on his leadership over the kingdom:
- Antonio fooled his own brother and stole his kingdom, abandoning him on an island with no concern for his well-being. Prospero remained unharmed during the tempest and forgave him, demonstrating his generosity and leadership qualities.
