Clegg first introduces himself to Miranda as Ferdinand, but she later dubs him Caliban.
And cruder devices certainly deepen the effect of a name; Caliban is a rough anagram of “cannibal,” and Cassio contains an “ass.”
Caliban had crept within a foot of him, and was pulling himself into position.
As Caliban fell he had clambered up, and was now blocking the entrance.
Again and again he parried the attack, until Caliban was disposed of.
It was Caliban, as well as Ferdinand, courting fair Miranda.
The mother might have been a twin sister of Sycorax, the dam of Caliban.
Caliban talks to himself about "that other, whom his dam called God."
Is the character of Caliban apparently in keeping with his appearance?
Did this Caliban have some understanding of what was at stake in his heart and soul?
