Stephano helps to show a counterpoint to Prospero, showing himself as an authoritarian, with little power and relevance.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Stephano was one of the survivors of the shipwreck, which reached the island that Prospero rules.
- He is a braggart and is always drunk, which makes him have wild and nonsensical ideas.
- Upon arriving on the island, he proves authoritarian with Caliban and assumes that he will rule the island, as Prospero did.
- However, he tries to do it ridiculously, comic, and without any kind of planning or power.
In this case, we can say that he contributes to the plot development, being a counterpoint to Prospero and showing that planning, power, and rationality are necessary to control the island.
