Can Caliban be taught?

mariaclaramartinez — 2024-01-25 01:42:25 UTC

Caliban can obviously be taught about anything, like Miranda taught him how to speak language. Caliban can be ignorant about the knowledge and culture that the people outside of the island have, but this doesn't mean that he can't learn what anyone could have to taught to him; including the fact that he has his own culture and knowledgement, so that can for sure be used to help him to learn something new whenever he wants to.

If Caliban is able to learn (he has learned language), does he recognize the “good” it was done for him?

mariaclaramartinez — 2024-01-25 01:43:11 UTC

Caliban not just doesn't recognized the “good”, but also curse Miranda because of the fact that she had taught him how to speak his language, like when he says “You taught me language; and my profit on't

Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you

For learning me your language!” . Of course his anger about this new “ability” he got is because of the betrayal from Prospero against him, like when Prospero acted like he loved Caliban, treated him in the most beautiful way to just steal from the native all he had. All the good things he had in the island were gone because of Prospero, so, because of that, he started to curse everything that he got from the others when he was being well treated.

Why doesn’t he seem to see any advantage on the efforts of Miranda?

mariaclaramartinez — 2024-01-25 01:43:43 UTC

He doesn't see any advantage in Miranda's efforts because, after he became Prospero's slave, he started to hate and despise everything that the master and the girl did to him. He had learned language which he most hated after the time he passed with both, also with him all the time cursing Prospero and Miranda when he had a “conversation” with them.

What does it tell us about the way Europeans used to see the people of the New World?

mariaclaramartinez — 2024-01-25 01:44:13 UTC

That scene between Caliban, Prospero and Miranda shows exactly what is the vision that the Europeans always had about the people of the New World; the vision of savages, animals that had to be taught about everything. Caliban is always mistreated for being who he is, a native, and this action is totally influenced by the vision the Europeans had about the “different people”. Caliban could even be good in what he does or be good for literally being who he is, but would never be better than those that taught him how to speak. The same happens in real life; the “different one” would always be on the feet of those who think is superior to them.
