Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' / The Actor's Characterization of Caliban
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper suggesting one way in which the character of Caliban might be portrayed in Shakespeare's play. The paper asserts that although Shakespeare clearly intended for Caliban to be portrayed as somewhat reptilian, there is no evidence for seeing Caliban as an Oriental scavenger, an African warrior, or a European wild man. Rather, greater stress should be laid on the role's emotional demands. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
