How does Tempest celebrate reconciliation?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Shakespear's drama

The tempest celebrates reconciliation, like in most of shakespeares works, with the ending. In the end of the Tempest Prospero could kill everyone, especially Caliban. However, instead of destroying all these people Prospero has learned that he is too frail and weak, often casting fierce judgement without thought. I believe that this is not a celebration but a small representation of a slight change in an eccentric man. Caliban is his slave because he tried to mate with Miranda, but he was not raping her, he was expressing his love in the only way that he knew how. Prospero knows that Caliban has been planning his murder and yet he forgives him for being a simple minded, foolish creature. This is not a beautiful ending, Prosperos idea of being a good guy is telling Caliban that he will not die and then ordering his to clean his room. This means that nothing in their status relationship has changed except the fact that Caliban will live one more day in misery. So the word celebration is a bit extreme but the idea of reconciliation is very apparent in the ending of the play.

I'd take the reconciliation angle more from the fact that Prospero fled from England with his baby daughter Miranda on account of a feud with Alonso, the king.

And of course since Ferdinand (Alonso's son) and Miranda fall in love once they meet on the island, this sets the stage for Prospero and Alonso to settle their differences, because they want their children to be happy together. Just look at the scene (somewhere in Act V, near the end) where Prospero and Alonso finally have a conversation. That's it.
