The Tempest
Discuss the difference(s) between Caliban and Ariel in relation to the differences between the field slave and the house slave in later Southern plantation regimes. If youve seen Tarantinos Django Unchained, you might think about and discuss this question in terms of the contrast between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Stephen (Samuel Jackson) in relation to Calvin (Leonardo DiCaprio) in that film Neither Caliban nor Ariel is represented as being exactly human. Compare and contrast the representation of these two figures in the play in relation to their respective non-human statuses. Are we supposed to like Prospero (approve, endorse, applaud, etc.)? Do you like Prospero? Why or why not?
