Prospero, the protagonist of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," was exiled primarily due to the political machinations of his brother, Antonio, who usurped his position as the Duke of Milan. Antonio's betrayal, fueled by ambition and greed, led to Prospero being overthrown and forced to flee with his infant daughter, Miranda.
