Act 2, Scene 2 - Caliban, Stephano and Triculo


Caliban
  • Anger at treatment (especially in the film)
  • Tormented - helps us to feel sympathy at his position
  • Funny - comes from laughing at him at his idiotic, drunk, clumsiness - basic, low level, comedy, base comedy
  • Reacts with awe to the new comes
  • Motivated to get away from Prospero with hopes of them protecting him
Stephano and Trinculo
  • Mock Caliban, laugh at him, trick him
  • Want to exploit him
  • => Exhibiting strange looking people as freaks was common
  • Stephano says "we will inherit here" - want power
