Significance of Caliban in Shakespeare's The Tempest
Caliban embodies three ideas, first, the supernatural as he is born of the union of a witch and the devil. Hence, he is deformed. In the first and supernatural character, Caliban serves as a foil to the heavenly spirit, Ariel. Ariel is primarily "but air", whereas Caliban, at the very outset, is addressed by Prospero a 'thou earth'? Caliban represents not only the earth, but also the other of two heavier elements, i.e. water, for he is half fish.
