Essay --

In the beginning of the play, Caliban and Prospero had a kindred similar to that of a father and son. Prospero took consider of Caliban, and taught him how to speak. Caliban too, taught Prospero how to live on the island by showing him the places to get food. I tonus that in the beginning, Caliban was nave and innocent, with no ill intent. He truly entangle that Prospero was his father, or a king, and in fact was a king that he love. For instance, Caliban in Act 1, paroxysm 2 states And then I loved thee. Their relationship was unmatchable of love, and the want to help each other. After Caliban essay to rape Miranda, Calibans and Prosperos relationship lurchd drastically. Prospero became extremely hostile to Caliban, and insulted Caliban in their first conversation in the book in Act 1, Scene 2, Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself. Upon thy wicked dam, come frontwards It is easily seen how their relationship has changed severely since then. Caliban, too, hurled cu rses at Prospero As wicked dew as eer my mother brushedWith ravens feather from rich fenDrop on you some(prenominal) A southwest cocker on yeAnd blister you all oer Certainly, this would not have been the guidance they would have talked to each other if they had still loved each other. Their relationship was now one of loathe and revolt. Caliban became resentful and grouchy because of Prosperos rejection of him afterwards what he had done. However, Caliban, being a savage, was probably just heeding natures calls. After all, all of nature has a need to procreate, and Caliban was just pursuit his instincts. Furthermore, Miranda was the only girl on the island who was of the right age to procreate, so then Calibans actions were valid, to him at least. In addition, Calib... ...nces whereby Calibans actions affected his relationships with others, it was not cod to sudden changes in character, but rather, due to the way he was brought up, and the mend of peoples actions on him w hich led to the final blow. Also, Calibans and Prosperos relationship changed in various ways throughout The Tempest, where at a point it was a relationship of love, and at another time it was one of hatred. However, looking at the text as a whole, the overarching relationship the both had was still one of a master and slave. Even though they had a loving relationship in the beginning of the story, theirs was still one of favourable position and inferiority. At the end of the play, their relationship returned to what it was initially. Hence, their relationship did not actually change throughout, but what changed was the way they spoke to each other throughout the play.
