There are many suggestions in ‘The Tempest’ that give us clues into the character of Caliban such as being referred to continuously as a tortoise‚ fish‚ cat‚ monster and a misshapen knave‚ his very name has similarities to Cannibalism. His mother being a witch does him no favours‚ but her treatment of Ariel (who we believe to be a "fine apparition" with his beautifully energetic language) certainly reflects badly on Caliban

While his humor is insensitive and unfair‚ Hamlet uses it to cope with his unresolvable feelings. While he does have a heightened sense of language‚ he lacks emotional intelligence. Though he is self aware‚ the majority of the

    King Lear Summer Reading Report # 1 Alejandro Ramirez July 28‚ 2010 Mrs. Colton   King Lear by William Shakespeare tells the tragedy of Lear‚ King of England‚ who slowly‚ throughout the course of the play becomes mad and eventually dies. There have been many film adaptations of the play all of which try and remain as close to the original play; however‚ none appear to keep the same meaning of Shakespeare’s text more than director Richard Eyre’s film version of King Lear (1997).
