The Tempest (Annotated by Henry N. Hudson with an Introduction by Charles Harold Herford)

At the heart of the play is Prospero, a magician and the rightful Duke of Milan, who, along with his daughter Miranda, seeks reconciliation after being usurped by his brother Antonio. The narrative blends supernatural elements with themes of forgiveness and magnanimity, moving away from realistic portrayals. The character of Prospero has often been interpreted as a reflection of Shakespeare himself, symbolizing a transition toward peace in his final work.
