    SCENE 2

    MIRANDA: Oh God Oh God A sinking ship Father, help

    PROSPERO: enters hurriedly carrying a megaphone.)

    Come

    daughter,

    calm yourself

    It's only a play. There's

    really

    nothing

    wrong.

    Anyway, everything that

    happens

    s for our

    own

    good. Trust me,

    I

    won't

    say any

    more.

    MIRANDA:

    But such a

    fine

    ship, and

    so many fine,

    brave lives sunk, drowned,

    laid

    waste to wrack and ruin .. A

    person would have to

    have

    a

    heart

    of stone

    not

    to be

    moved ..

    PROSPERO:

    Drowned

    ..hmmm.

    That remains

    to

    be

    seen.

    But

    draw

    near, dear

    Princess.

    The time has come.

    MIRANDA:

    You're making fun of me,

    father.

    Wild

    as I am,

    you know I

    am happy

    - like a

    queen

    of

    the

    wildflowers,

    of

    the streams and paths, running barefoot

    through

    thorns

    and

    flowers,

    spared

    by

    one,

    caressed by

    the other.

    PROSPERO: But

    you

    are

    a

    Princess

    ..

    for

    how else

    does one

    address

    the daughter of

    a

    Prince?

    I

    cannot

    leave

    you

    in

    ignorance any

    longer. Milan

    s

    the

    city

    of

    your birth,

    and

    the

    city

    where for

    many years I was

    the

    Duke.

    MIRANDA:

    Then

    how

    did

    we

    come here? And

    tell me, too,

    by

    what

    ill fortune did a prince turn into the reclusive

    hermit

    you

    are

    now,

    here, on

    this

    desert

    isle? Was it because

    you found the world distasteful, or through

    the

    perfidy of

    some enemy?

    Is our island a

    prison or

    a

    hermitage?

    You've

    hinted at some

    mystery

    so many

    times

    and aroused my

    curiosity,

    and today you

    shall tell

    me

    all.

    PROSPERO:

    In

    a way, it is

    because

    of all

    the things you

    mention.

    First,

    it

    is

    because

    of political

    disagreements,

    because of the intrigues of

    my

    ambitious younger brother.

    Antonio is his

    name,

    your uncle, and

    Alonso

    the

    name of

    the

    envious King

    of

    Naples.

    How

    their

    ambitions were

    joined, how my

    brother became the

    accomplice of my rival,

    how

    the latter promised

    the former

    his

    protection and

    my

    throne

    ..the devil

    alone

    knows how all that

    came about. In

    any event,

    when they learned

    that

    through

    my

    studies and

    experiments I

    had

    managed to discover

    the exact

    location

    of

    these

    lands for which many had

    sought

    for centuries and

    that I

    was making preparat ions to

    set forth to

    take

    possession

    of

    them, they

    hatched

    a

    scheme to

    steal my as

    yet-unborn

    empire

    from me. They bribed

    my

    people, they

    stole my charts and

    documents and,

    to

    get rid of me, they

    denounced

    me to the

    Inquisition

    as

    a

    magician and
