The Tempest Quotes: Caliban (and Prospero) Flashcards
(20 cards)
A freckled whelp,
hag-born, not honoured with a human shape
Thou poisonous slave
got by the devil himself
This island’s mine
by Sycorax my mother
You taught me language,
and my profit on’t is I know how to curse
All the infections that the sun sucks up
from bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall
There would this
monster make a man
This is
some monster of the isle
A most poor
credulous monster
Perfidious
and drunken monster
I’ll bare him no more sticks
but follow thee, thou wonderous man
A devil, a born devil,
on whose nature nurture can never stick
The poor monster’s my subject
and he shall not suffer indignity
There thou mayst brain him
having first seized his books
This isle is full of noises,
sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not
When I waked
I cried to dream again
Though they are of monstrous shape
yet note their manners are more gentle
Do this
good mischief
Be you
quiet, monster
This thing of
darkness I acknowledge mine
What a thrice-double ass was I
to take this drunkard for a god, and worship this dull fool
