Question

Helpppp.What can you infer about Shakespeare’s view of the English treatment of the inhabitants of the new world from his contrast

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Shakespeare's view of the treatment of the English by the inhabitants of the new world can be seen in "The tempest" through the relationship between Prospero and Calibam.

Calibam represents the inhabitants of the new world and shows how the English saw them in a rude, wild, ignorant and violent way. Shakespeare shows that Calibam is a lost creature that needs to be dominated, exploited and deceived by a European, who is someone cultured, civilized with divine powers, since he knows God. This European is Prospero who represents all the power and influence that Europe believes he had in relation to Native Americans.

Prospero imposes his will on the basis of intelligence and the ability to dominate different cultures and peoples.
