Lesson outcome

I can analyse the ways in which Prospero exerts his power over Caliban in Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ and how this might relate to ideas of colonialism.

Show transcript
Prospero repeatedly calls Caliban his slave, emphasising Caliban’s inferiority. Prospero rules Caliban through fear. ‘The Tempest’ is considered by many scholars to be a comment on colonialism. Caliban could be considered representative of indigenous people controlled by colonists.
