OH NO POOR MIRANDA! Prospero manipulates his daughters mind while they are alone on the island together; by telling her stories of the past that make her feel sorry for him and how he lost his
high ranking title. The things he tells her pretty much brain washes her to believe how he wants her to.
With Ariel Prospero force Ariel to do his bidding because he keeps bringing up how he saved him from the evil witch and how Ariel owes it to him to be his slave. He keeps telling him that he is going to release him after he is done with what Prospero wants him to do , “Thou shalt be free As mountain winds. But then exactly do all points of my command.”
Prospero enslaves Caliban with the threat that he will ruin his life with the powers Prospero is blessed with. He threatens him with pain and sorrow if he doesn’t do as Prospero wishes. “For this, be sure, tonight thou shalt have cramps, Side-Stitches that shall pen thy breath up. Urchins Shall, forth at vast of night that they may work, All exercise on thee. Thou shalt be pinched As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging Than bees that made 'em.”
