Once you have a general understanding of 18th-century novels, you can move on to examining the structure of Defoe's novels.

It's important to note that Caliban's description may vary slightly depending on different interpretations or adaptations of "The Tempest." Therefore, consulting the original play and considering multiple sources of analysis can provide a comprehensive understanding.

Look for scholarly analyses or literary critiques that discuss the unique qualities of "The Tempest" in relation to Shakespeare's other works.
