Caliban uses the gaberdine as a source of protection. He uses it to protect him from a storm, and he uses it to protect him from Trinculo, who he thinks is a spirit sent to punish him. Trinculo joins Caliban under the gaberdine to protect himself from the storm as well. The pictures display the showering rain and how the gaberdine is used as protection from it. The Harry Potter gif is relevant because he too uses a cloak of a sort to hide him when he does not wish to be caught. The quote symbolizes how Caliban assumes Trinculo is a spirit and instantly fears him, but he is only a lost man.
Caliban drinks excessively (represented by the first picture below) because it relieves him from his fear of Prospero. Since Stephano helps Caliban feel better, Caliban wants to …show more content…
Caliban must serve Prospero, and his misery can be seen in the start of the scene, “Enter Caliban, with a burthen of wood.” Caliban does not benefit from his work which is in difficult conditions to please the bourgeoisie (labour).
He receives punishments for every little thing he does wrong evident when he thinks the spirits have come to get him (abuse). When he thinks Prospero sent a spirit to punish him, he says, “Do not torment me, prithee. I’ll bring my wood home faster.” (2.2.76)
The impact of social class is grand. The bourgeoisie have more power than the proletariat to dictate, to be free, and to live. Caliban is oppressed, unappreciated and has no freedom.
Caliban is highly disrespected and is called names as the lower class. For example, “I hid me/ under the dead mooncalf’s gaberdine for fear of/ the storm.” (2.2.112-114). Trinculo even says, “A most scurvy monster. I could find in my/ heart to beat him—”. (2.2.156-157) He says this after judging Caliban only by his appearance which is uncivilized.
According to Cliffs Notes, Shakespeare uses language to display Caliban as the lower class as he speaks prose to his masters but verse
