caliban
Mowat's essay emphasizes Caliban's significant role in The Tempest, by William Shakespeare. Caliban's character, in relation to Prospero's, expresses the actual relations between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of settlers and natives, Caliban being the native of the island, and Prospero, the settler. Miranda and Prospero introduce Caliban to the reader as a "villain", "slave" and even a "tortoise". Caliban and his mother, Sycorax, a witch, were the only inhabit
After Sycorax's death, Prospero with Miranda settled on the island and enslaved Caliban. He is intended to represent the "savage" of the island by his appearance and language. The act of intruding and conquering an inhabited area can lead to a very complex outcome. Caliban's personality contradicts his appearance and therefore, symbolizes the hidden warped appearance of Prospero. Caliban, the native and Prospero, the settler, both face disagreeable circumstances that lead to the climax of colonization. Caliban offered them the knowledge of the island and in return, they taught him language. Shakespeare uses Caliban as a rugged appearance but is actually poetic, friendly and gullible. Caliban extremely resents Prospero's actions, as he says, ". Caliban is described as a "monster", "thing of darkness" and "a freckled whelp". Such actions have taken place in past colonization, such as the Americas, Africa and India. The issue of colonization is a very offensive and corrupt situation.
