Description

Ariel is a probably male (maybe neuter) "ayrie spirit" who serves the magician Prospero. In the play, he uses several female forms, and it seems to me to be an actual tranformation, rather than a disguise. He appears as a water nymph, a harpy and the goddess Ceres. (The latter is in a play-with-a-play and may thus be a costume rather than a tranformation.)
