Cuz hez da bad-guy!! Caliban is the "slave" of Prospero. Prospero and Miranda, his daughter, used to like Caliban but once he tried to sexually assault Miranda. Caliban's mother was a witch called Sycorax who was the actual owner of the island, but she died. Caliban believes that the island should be his instead of Prospero's.

∙ 14y agoCaliban is Prospero's servant, or, if you will, slave. He is generally portrayed as being half-fish, half-man, or at least as having a monstrous form, although some productions choose to make him appear more human--probably to show that he's not primitive and beastly, but mistreated. Admittedly, he has a sour nature, but this is likely because of the punishments given him by Prospero. Not a happy fellow.

∙ 13y agoYes, The Tempest and its characters were essentially Shakespeare's creation, including Caliban. Some have suggested that Caliban's character may be rooted in that of Punch or Punchinello, but the relationship is tenuous at best.
