The Tempest Act 3 Scene 3 Summary - Starts Here


In search of Ferdinand, king Alonso and his companions feel greatly tired. Alonso is in a terrible depression over the supposed loss of his beloved son Ferdinand. Gonzalo, the old courtier, requests others to take a rest. They all stop to take a rest. 

 


Alonso is now shattered and has given up all hopes about the survival of his son Ferdinand. "Alonso and Sebastian feel happy and they whisper to each other because the others were so tired that they will not be alert and watchful. Thus they plan to kill Alonso and Gonzalo later in the evening."

 


At that very time, they heard a piece of strange music. Then Prospero enters invisibly along with several spirits. "They carry food, perform a graceful dance, and invite them to have food." Then the spirits disappear. 

 


Everyone is surprised to see all this. But before they begin to eat, there is a thunderclap and then Ariel enters in the shape of a harpy. "The dinner vanishes through some quaint device". Ariel "makes a speech which is heard only by the three men - Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio."

 


In his speech "he accuses these three men as sinners," they try to take out their swords against Ariel but he tells them that they may use it against the wind or try to hit the waves, but that will be of no use. 

 


They have to suffer for their bad deeds in driving out Prospero on the sea. Ariel says that Alonso's son is dead and then disappears. Prospero praises Ariel for doing a good job. "Meanwhile, these three courtiers are upset by this revelation and run away."

 


"Gonzalo feels that guilt has overtaken all the three of them namely Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian."

 


Commentary or Analysis of The Tempest Act 3 Scene 3:


In Act 3 Scene 3, Shakespeare has made use of supernatural machinery which helps Prospero to further go with his plan. "The phrase 'with a quaint device the banquet vanishes' proves the role of the supernatural machinery."

 


 The spirit-voice that denounces the three "'men of sin'" may not seem to be supernatural to Alonso and others "because they think that these are the magical occurrences of the island."

 


"This scene is significant because it awakens the sense of guilt in Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian. The whole past stands out clearly before the eyes of the guilty men."The sea, the shore, and every creature have joined hands to revenge the foul deed done in the past.

 


In this scene, we find hints of settlement based on realization and forgiveness.
