Prospero is the main character: the magical father of Miranda who lives on the island and controls all its inhabitants. He struggles in his relationships to Ariel and Caliban as well as with the forgiveness of the nobles that ousted him from his Dukedom.

Prospero is the loving and caring father of Miranda. He is forgiveful throughout the play, but can also be powerful and commanding. He orders his daughter as well as Ariel, his faithful servant. He shows a bad-temper and is strong, yet concerned and loyal. Prospero shows many sides and makes the play what it is.

Prospero links all the subplots: the distress of the castaways, the romance between Miranda and Ferdinand, the plot of Caliban, Trinculo and Stephano to kill him. Ariel only acts on his direction. Prospero is the puppet master of everything and everyone on the island; nobody else could possibly be the protagonist.
