The Tempest

I think I read The Tempest in the mid-90's and I don't remember anything about it. The good thing about Jeopardy is that all you really need to know about any work of literature is an extremely brief summary and a few of the major characters.

Part 1: The Tempest, by William Shakespeare. A king sailing home gets in a big storm. They're on an island with a magician. Shenanigans ensue. Every is okay in the end.

Characters:
Prospero
Miranda
Ariel
Caliban
Alonso
Ferdinand
Sebastian
Antonio
Gonzalo
Stephano
Trinculo
spirits
sailors

Part 2: Country of the Day = Australia. Capital city = Canberra.



Part 3:
Word of the day = mellifluous adj. having a smooth rich flow
