Abstract
In Shakespeare's play the tempest, prospero is presented as the colonizer, and Ariel and Caliban are seen as his «colonized subjects ». These two natives had to accept this newcomer twelve years ago, and we rapidly learn that both didn't react the same way. Ariel feels grateful towards prospero because the latter had rescued him from Sycorax's cast. She had imprisoned Ariel in a tree. But she was also Caliban's mother, and Caliban lived prospero's arrival on the island as an intrusion. Therefore, we can say that prospero's name can be rearranged to spell out « oppressor », and we'll see there's a reason for that. We quickly notice that these two subjects have different attitudes towards their master, who symbolizes modern civilization.
