Prospero
Major flaw--Too trusting
Prospero, the Duke of Milan, is the main character in William Shakespeare's play, "The Tempest". Prospero is a good man but he has one major flaw; he is too trusting. Prospero has left his brother, Antonio, in charge of his "political affairs" while he studied "strange sciences and books of magic." He trusted his brother, but did not realise that Antonio was jealous of him. Antonio wanted to be Duke or "wanted the title for himself" so he and Alonso, the King of Naples, "made a wicked plan" to get rid of Prospero. Prospero had no clue what was taking place until he was taken prisoner and taken to the seashore.
This is not the entire sketch but I am looking forward to your critique. Also add your sample so I can critique. Remember to click on comments.
