Ariel and Caliban are both central points of servitude and freedom as they both hold different reasons of what it means. Both their views are vastly different; Ariel believes serving Prospero will allow him his freedom, ‘gladly’ preforming his tasks. His servitude is redemption and freedom. However, Caliban himself believes power will allow his freedom, wishing to overthrow Prospero in his reign and control the island himself. Caliban and Ariels contrasting views allow us to understand just how different their mindset’ are when it comes to their freedom.
