Alonso is the King of Naples who conspired with Antonio against Prospero, causing Prospero's exile to the Island. Due to the shipwreck caused by Prospero, Alonso is stranded on the Island where Prospero torments him before offering forgiveness if Alonso repents of his crimes against Prospero. Alonso repents accordingly and also consents to his son's betrothal to Miranda, Prospero's daughter.
