Caliban is a character with a personality viewed as evil amongst the others on the island. Although Prospero described Caliban as “A devil‚ a born devil on whose nature / Nurture can never stick” (IV.i.188-189)‚ indicating that nurture cannot make up for what nature has already created‚ Caliban is not evil due to heredity only.

Performance as a means of Demonstrating Power in Politics In this essay‚ I shall explain how Shakespeare displays performance as a technique used to demonstrate power (as opposed to gaining power) through metatheatricality and literal performance in The Tempest‚ and again with ‘The Mousetrap’ in Hamlet.
