   Although Prospero is not the most dynamic character Shakespeare ever created, I believe he does undergo some significant character development. The Epilogue alone, which is spoken by Prospero, shows that he is finally able to relinquish some of the power he's valued so much over the course of the play - he is without his magic and explains that he must be validated by the audience and their applause/praise. The Prospero we met at the beginning of the play would not have admitted needing help/validation from others.
