The author draws attention to the fact that in William Shakespeare’s plays characters tell their stories and tales with varying degrees of credibility. In his paper he makes an attempt to reconstruct the actual circumstances of both the storm and shipwreck in The Tempest by analysing all the relevant accounts in the play. While investigating the reliability of the characters’ narratives, the author suggests that Ariel is a spirit whose report of the raised tempest and subsequent shipwreck is partly a trustworthy account and partly a fictitious and misleading tale, which is demonstrated in the course of comparing his words with the other characters’ assertions of what happened in the initial storm.

Woroniecki formulates his conception of the ethos of a speaker against the background of analyses of the conditions of telling tales understood as literary transcripts of living speech transmiting the wisdom of previous generations and addressed to a specific recipient. There is a close connection between the ethos of a speaker (his/her moral condition) and the ethos way of persuasion, a connection conditioned by the specificity of human nature. The way of revealing the speaker’s attitude, and the way in which the ethos reveals and interacts are inseparably connected with the speaker who is a man who cognizes and acts. The imitation or fabrication of the ethos, which is instrumental or detached from the speaker, are contrary to Woroniecki’s position. The specificity of the ethos persuasion (according to Woroniecki) consists in the fact that this persuasion is carried out in connection with the nature of a speaker who is capable of (moral) self-improvement, and of the creative presentation of his development to the auditorium.
