The correct answer would be option C: "feels slightly foolish about the events that occur", this due to the way the excerpt is written, since, it seems the author wanted to let the readers know that the narrator isn't stupid, so that they keep that in mind, when they read about a foolish thing said narrator did. If the narrator did something dumb, then option A and B would be discarded, as would option D.

Explanation:
<em>The Tempest</em> tells a story about Prospero, a magician who was utterly betrayed by his brother and forced to flee his dukedom. Caught in a tempest, he arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter, Miranda.
The characters in the play have multiple times found themselves in a situation where they could behave in disagreement with their social status. However, they continue to act in accordance with their societal roles. The most obvious example of this is Prospero himself, who is determined to recover his title, although he now rules the entire island and has a servant (Ariel) and a slave (Caliban). Instead of being pleased with this situation, he plots a revenge to regain his title, because this is how it works in his society.
In addition, Miranda and Ferdinand are not intimate even when there is nobody around them, because they are used to controlling their urges. Both Caliban and Stephano and Trinculo do not reach freedom as they are convinced by the society that they belong to a lower class.
