| What role does the harpy play? | Ariel enters in the shape of a harpy and flaps his wings on the table and the banquet vanishes. |
| How do the men feel after Ariel accuses them of leaving forcing Prospero out of Milan to then be left at the mercy of the sea with his young child? | Gonzalo was not accused because he is innocent of this sin, and therefore he does not feel guilty.

On the other hand, Antonio and Sebastian say that they will fight in order to show that they are not sorry. |
