Read the extract and answer the question

You are three men of sin, whom Destiny -
That hath to instrument this lower world
And what is in't - the never-surfeited sea
Hath caused to belch up you; and on this island,
Where man doth not inhabit - you 'mongst men
Being most unfit to live.
(Act 111, scene three lines 53-58)

Answer Details
The speaker immediately reports the three men to Prospero. This is evident in the first line of the passage where the speaker addresses the three men as "three men of sin" and proceeds to accuse them of being unfit to live on the island. The speaker goes on to imply that the cause of their being on the island is destiny, which has used the sea to bring them there. The phrase "belch up" also suggests that the men were brought to the island against their will. The speaker's intention is to inform Prospero of their presence on the island.
