"Visions of Caliban"

"Visions of Caliban" explores the character of Caliban from Shakespeare’s *The Tempest* as a symbol of colonialism and the marginalized. The essay examines how Caliban’s portrayal reflects fears, misunderstandings, and prejudices about indigenous peoples and colonized lands. It analyzes Caliban’s complex identity—part victim, part rebel—and considers how his story reveals broader themes of power, displacement, and cultural conflict. Ultimately, the work invites readers to reconsider Caliban not just as a monstrous figure, but as a representation of oppressed voices seeking agency and recognition in a colonial world.
