“all thy vexations were but my trials of thy love, and thou hast strangely stood the test” this quote has been said by Prospero and I think that he was intending to direct it to Ferdinand. It means that Prospero had been testing him to see the limits he’d go to show his feelings and passion for Miranda as shown in previous scenes from such things as carrying logs and was actually on a trial, which meant being Prospero slave I know this because when he says “were but my trials of thy love”.when Prospero then says” and thou hast strangely stood the test”it was him giving Ferdinand his blessing,as he had seen the lengths he’d go, to be with Miranda further on in the scene Prospero wants to kill caliban and caliban to Prospero this affects the plot because it will cause tension as there could be a good war coming between the two.
