Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe how different characters treat Caliban.

Show transcript
Trinculo and Stephano’s first impressions of Caliban suggest that they see him as unnatural and inhuman. Trinculo’s repeated use of ‘monster’ to describe Caliban suggests that he sees him as an abomination. Stephano’s use of imperative language implies he sees himself as superior to Caliban. Caliban’s language may show that he sees himself as inferior and is desperate to prove his worth.
