Prospero And Miranda Naturally Ruled Caliban
782 wordsCaliban, the "salvage and deformed slave. " They represent two different extremes on the social spectrum: that of the natural ruler, and the naturally ruled.

Stephano And Trinculo Example Of Caliban Prospero
1,179 wordsThe Tempest is not a pure fantasy tale, but a purposeful allegory. The characters in the play are all representative of characters found in the bible. The first, and perhaps most persuasive, arguement would be Prospero symbolizing God. Prospero is seen to be a representative of God for several reasons. First, he is obviously in control of the actions and has an omnipotent quality. This has been demonstrated by several scenes throughout the play. Consider the power that Prospero possesses, as sho...

By the end of the play, Prospero indeed combines power over himself with power over the outer world (Elye 7). Although this does put him in an ideal position to lead, Prospero is brought to a point where he develops control over himself, rather than being presented as such a ...
