Miranda, daughter of
Prospero in
Shakespeare's
The Tempest, is an
intelligent young
woman who has never known any
men besides her
father and
Caliban---their hideous beast-man servant. When
Prospero uses
magic to lure a ship to his island Miranda falls in
love with the first
man she sees...
Their love is (perhaps) the only event in the play that is not orchestrated by Prospero's magic...
