Question

who was caliban ? what did he look like

Answer 1

Caliban is a product of nature, the offspring of the witch Sycorax and the devil. Prospero has made Caliban his servant or, more accurately, his slave. Throughout most of the play, Caliban is insolent and rebellious and is only controlled through the use of magic. Caliban claims the island as his own and maintains that Prospero has tricked him in the past.

Answer 2

The son of a witch named Sycorax and the devil himself, Caliban is certainly a 'deformed' and monstrous figure, but as a character, he is much more than a slave. Essentially, Prospero is saying that Caliban is as ugly inside as he is on the outside.
