The settings in Act 1 are characterized by a ship facing an extremely violent storm, which causes the crew to fear, the captain's attempt to save the ship and the hierarchy established within the ship among all passengers. In this type of Setting, we cannot agree that there is something different from the real world, since violent storms are natural phenomena of nature, as well as the chaos that settles on the ship when the storm tries to destroy it. This is a surprising point in Shakespeare's work, because it shows how he was able to surprise the audience, even in scenarios that take place completely in the real world, but that already start the work in a tense and highly suspense way.
