KS2 English: The Tempest - Episode 6

Prospero sets Ferdinand to work…and when he meets Miranda it's love at first sight.

Episode 6

Prospero is up on the mountain orchestrating his plan…Caliban plotting a revolution…and the courtiers lost in the jungle…

Ariel leads Ferdinand to the cave where he meets Miranda…and they fall hopelessly in love. Miranda is the most beautiful woman Ferdinand has ever seen…Ferdinand is the only man Miranda has ever seen (apart from her father, of course) and their falling in love is all part of Prospero's plan.

Prospero gives Ferdinand Caliban's job of cutting wood…and Ferdinand rather enjoys the chore, so long as he has Miranda with him to watch.
