Act One, Scene i shows the "tempest" of the play's title. How do the different characters react to crisis?

The boatswain says that even kings cannot "command these elements" of wind and water, and tells Antonio and Sebastian that they can either "keep below" or help the sailors. The noblemen take offense at being ordered around by a mere sailor, and both show a mean-tempered streak in this encounter. The storm becomes wilder. Antonio and Sebastian also fear the worst, and go below to say goodbye to the king, Alonso.
