Q 1:- Write a short account of the conspiracy hatched by Caliban against Prospero and the way it is defeated.
Ans:- Caliban has a pervasive scorn for Prospero who, he thinks, is the usurper of his land. So Caliban is hostile to Prospero . He thinks of a wicked plan to murder Prospero.
As Caliban, Trinculo and Stephano walk through the island in a drunken state Caliban proposes to Stephano that he can become king of the island if he kills Prospero. In that case Caliban says, "Trinculo shall be lord of it and I'll serve thee." Stephano asks how it will be "compassed" whereupon Caliban says, "I'll yield upon him thee asleep." Actually Caliban will present Prospero before Stephano while Prospero takes his afternoon nap.
Firstly, Caliban points out that must take possession of all the books of Prospero and burn them. Without his books on magic Prospero is "but a sot as I am" and is unable to control the spirits of the island. This shows and suggests that Caliban has attempted to take Prospero's life before. He now hopes that Stephano will accomplish the deed.
Caliban now attempts to motivate Stephano to make the attack by telling him that if he succeeds in killing Prospero he will have Prospero's "brave utensils", that is, his splendid household goods. Not only that, he will have Miranda who is "a nonpareil."
Caliban suggests three possible ways of murdering Prospero. First Stephano can "brain him" battering his skull with a log. Caliban's other suggestions are to "paunch him with a stake", that is to stab him in the belly.
Ariel who is present on the scene listens to their plan of murder and tells all about the conspiracy to his master Prospero. On being informed by Ariel about the conspiracy hatched by Caliban, Prospero orders Ariel to hang some showy garments on a lime-tree to divert the attention of the conspirators. They get busy in grabbing the garments. Caliban urges them not to waste their time to kill Prospero. But Stephano and Trinculo pay little heed to his words. At that hour a number of spirits appear in the shape of dogs and hounds. They chase the conspirators who take to their heels in a state of confusion. Prospero then orders the spirits to torment the conspirators. This is how Caliban's conspiracy to murder Prospero is foiled and defeated.
