In Shaekspeare's play The Tempest, After his (Caliban's) island becomes occupied by Prospero and his cohort, Caliban is forced
into servitude. He is referred to as a a freckled monster, and he is the only human inhabitant of the island that is otherwise "not honour'd with a human shape."
In Richard Ellmans biography Oscar Wilde, Wlde comments as
follows: "The nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban
seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his face in a glass.
Good old Oscar.
