Ferdinand and Miranda do not just accidentally bump into each other on the street one day.  Prospero makes it possible for them to meet and fall in love.  He causes the storm that wrecks the ship that carries Ferdinand.  He then instructs Ariel to lure Ferdinand to his home in order for Miranda to meet him.  Ariel sings to Ferdinand, enticing him to follow her and he does so, “or it hath drawn me rather,” (I, ii, 395).  It is clear that Prospero wanted him brought to his house when he says, “It works.  Thou has done well, fine Ariel,” (I, ii, 494) after Ferdinand shows up.  Ferdinand and Miranda are brought together by powers beyond their understanding, but does this change the truth in their love?
