Prospero’s magic is such that he can induce “cramps”, but as much as he attempts to control his subjects, “thought is free”. Prospero struggles with the knowledge that his “unnatural” brother has conspired against him but the gesture “I do forgive thee” suggests that reason is the preferred response. For Caliban “revenge” against his usurper is the “natural” action. Power asserts Shakespeare, is tenuous, and irrespective of who wields the “charms”, the constant threat of a predecessor necessitates unscrupulous vigilance.
