Answer:

The character relationship in "The Tempest" that is the best example of linguistic imperialism is:

D. Prospero and Caliban, because one forces the other to speak his  language.

Explanation:

<u>Linguistic imperialism can be defined as the imposition of one language on speakers of other languages. As we know, linguistic imperialism was a weapon of colonization.</u> Colonizers would forbid natives from speaking in their own mother tongues, forcing them to learn the colonizers' language. This was one of the many ways to keep natives under control while depriving them from their original identity and culture.

<u>That type of relationship is seen in "The Tempest", a play by Shakespeare, set in an island ruled by former Duke of Milan, Prospero. Prospero has forced a native islander, Caliban, to learn his language. Just like what happens in real life, Caliban is often called a monster. It is typical of colonizers to try and represent the natives as animals or, at least, as inferior in reasoning and knowledge. However, Caliban is actually perfectly capable of expressing himself and of understanding others. His representation is made through the eyes of the dominant culture, that is, in a prejudiced manner.</u>
