2 Questions Regarding Plot
1. Will Prospero ever free Caliban?
2. When will all the characters meet each other?

2 lines I translated!! Oh yeah

1. “I thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated to closeness and the bettering of my mind” which means: Since I was ignoring my people and spending a lot of time in my studies.
2. “With that which, but by being so retired, o’erprized all popular rate, in my false brother” which means: Because of that, I lost my popularity and my brother became more popular.

2 lines That I Totally Don’t Understand

1. “This King of Naples, being an enemy which was that he, in lieu o’ th’ premises of homage and I know not how much tribute, should presently extirpate me and mine out of the dukedom, and confer fair Milan, with all the honors, on my brother; whereon, a treacherous army levied, one midnight fated to th’ purpose did Antonio open the gates of Milan, and i’ th’ dead of darkness the ministers for th’ purpose hurried thence me and thy crying self.”

2. “The direful spectacle of the wrack, which touched the very virtue of compassion in thee, I have with such provision in mine art so safely ordered that there is no soul- no, not so much perdition as an hair, betid to any creature in the vessel which thou heard’st cry, which thou saw’st sink.”
