Which Shakespeare play features Caliban?
Caliban,son of the witch Sycorax, is an important character in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest.
His character is one of the few Shakespearean figures to take on a life of its own ‘’outside’’ Shakespeare’s own work: as Russell Hoban put it, with pardonable exaggeration, “Caliban is one of the hungry ideas, he’s always looking for someone to word him into being...Caliban is a necessary idea”.
Half human, half monster, after his island becomes occupied by Prospero and his daughter Miranda, Caliban is forced into servitude. While he is referred to as a calvaluna or mooncalf, a freckled monster, he is the only human inhabitant of the island that is otherwise "not honour'd with a human shape" . In some traditions he is depicted as a wild man, or a deformed man, or a beast man, or sometimes a mix of fish and man, a dwarf or even a tortoise.
