A Tempest









First of all let's we will understand Introduction of Colonialism.
 Colonialism means The policy or practice of equiring full or partial
political control over another country, exploding it economically.
Colonialism: Conquest + Control.
  Post colonial Literature:
Is a study on the effect of colonialism on cultures and societies. 
Concerned with both how European nations conquered and 
controlled.
Third Word” Culture and how these Europeans have since 
responded to resisted those encroachments. 




A Tempest is a post colonial revision of Shakespeare's The Tempest
 and it draws heavily on original play:The cost of character is for the
most part, the same , and the foundation of the plot follows the
 same basic premise.
Prospero has been exiled and lives on a secluded island, and he 
  drum supa violent storm to drive his daughter's ship
 ashore.The island,however is some where in the Caribbean ,
 Ariel is Mulatto slave and Caliban is a black slave.
A Tempest focuses on the plight of Ariel and Caliban-the never 
ending quest to gain freedom from prospero and his rule over
the island. 
Ariel, dutiful to prospero, follows all orders given to him and 
  sincerelybelieves emancipation. Caliban, on the other hand,
slights prospero at every opportunity.
In the first act:
Caliban greets prospero by saying “Uhuru!”, the Swahili word for
 “Freedom”. Prospero complains that Caliban often speaks in his 
native language which prospero has forbidden.
  • Caliban, generally viewed as an almost archetypal 
      representationof the third world colonized subject originated in
     Shakespeare's The Tempest.
    Conversely, in third world countries, this character has developed 
    into a positive symbol of the Third World a view that high lights the
     implacable spirit of Caliban against Prospero's subjugation.
    The reiterations of Caliban as a symbol of the Third World can be 
    found not only in a dramatic work, such as in Aime Cesare's A 
    Tempest but also in psychological and political treatises, such as
    those written by Octavio Mannoni and Fernando Retamar. It is 
    interesting to situate the process of Caliban's surrogation within the 
    realm of post colonial theory.
We would critically analyze Caliban as a character not as a class of 
slaves, we therefore argue that who feel marginalized the play from
 Feminist critics the character of Miranda and from the perspective
 of postcolonial critics the character of Caliban. But the loophole is
 that just to quote Miranda and her speeches or a faulty perception
 of Caliban’s character in order to acclimatize with the feminist or 
post-colonial theory kills the beauty of totality of the play.
