Answer 1

Because Prospero is a powerful character, the feel of the play is serious.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Because Prospero is a powerful character, the feel of the play is serious. The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. Prospero is the protagonist, and Miranda's father. Prospero has spent his twelve years on the island refining the magic that gives him the power he needs to punish and forgive his enemies.
