In his essay "Rethinking the discourse of colonialism in economic terms: Shakespeare's The Tempest, captain John Smith's Virginia narratives, and the English response to vagrancy," Paul Cefalu examines how the colonialist elements in The Tempest (along with the other texts mentioned) can be considered in economic terms as well as racial or ethnic ones. He notes that "anticolonialist critics have sought to "demystify the national myths" of empire and to write an alternative history of the colonial encounter" by focusing on "the politics of the early modern English-Native American encounter" with an eye towards "moments of textual rupture and contradiction in early modern texts such as The Tempest" (Cefalu 85)
Thus, Cefalu's analysis does not contradict the assertion that Caliban and Prospero's relationship is predicated on ethnic hostility and colonialist stereotypes, but rather points out that their combative relationship ultimately serves capitalism's purpose. In contrast to Cefalu's interpretation of The Tempest, Patricia Geesey's analysis of Season of Migration to the North challenges this essay's consideration of Mustafa Sa'eed, describing him as "a cultural hybrid, the resulting offspring from the colonial union of Great Britain and the Arab-African nation of the Sudan" who struggles with integrating either cultural identity into his psyche, rather than a strictly vengeful character embodying the colonial fears of Great Britain (Geesey 129)
The critical moment when it was in your power to refrain from taking the first step has been lost. I caught you unawares; at that time it was in your power to say 'No'" (Salih 35, 37)
By the time Prospero and his daughter Miranda are exiled to the island which serves as the setting of the play, Caliban has already been living there for some time. His mother, Sycorax, was banished "for mischiefs manifold and sorceries terrible / To enter human hearing, from Argier," and "left by the sailors" on the island while she was pregnant with Caliban (Shakespeare 1
