Shakespeare’s and XXII. Required Eeadix;;: Shakespeare’s | “Tempest,” Browning’s ‘Caliban | Upon Sctebos.” i 1 propose in this paper to compare Shakespeare’s and Browning's treatment | of the savage Caliban, in order to show the 'progress made in three centyries In the dramatic treatment of life. At first thought the comparison seems unfair, since in ofie case Caliban is subordinated | to the conduct of a complicated play, | while in the other case he seems to occu- | Py the stage alone. But it will appear from a study of Browning's poem that in reality Caliban Is the same slave of Pros- | pero and all the conditions of the piay may be implied in the poem. But it is to be observed furtner that the individu- alization of Caliban is one of the changes | that has taken place in the period unde'ri review. | This, then, 1s the image of Caliban on | Shakespeare's stage: He is a strange mis- | shapen creature, half fish, half man. He was fathered by a devii and a witch gave | him birth. He was reared in solitudg He | abbled until Prospero taught him sptech. | ood and drink and sensual pleasures alone attracted him. His senses are keen- | ly perceptive and nc knows where the| best things on the island may be found. | He listened to dreams and heard the mu- sic of spirits. When it thundered he grov- eled In fear of Setebos. . He slaved for Prospero when compelled by aches and, pains. He was rebellious when the oppor- tunity came to get a better master. He | realized the significance of punishment and could repent of wrongdoing. Within the compass of his savage nature he was not altogether unpoeiical and compares well with the degraded Stephano and the foolish Trinculo. Although a brute, he 1 approximates the attributes of a man. I | suppose that Shakespeare had merely | dramatic interest in this brute-man. The conception of such a one would naturaily | arise with the idea of a desert Island. From the play we catch echoes of travel- ers’ tales of the islands of the sea and their savage inh Among contem porary publications < the histories of Sir Walter Raleigh and Richard Hakluyt, Purchass’ “‘Pilgrimage” and Richard Eden’s account of the voyage of Magellan in the south seas. THe facts about sav- age races were just then becoming known | to the English people. For the first time | the poet with his world-wide curiosity could set forth upon the stage the lo type of man. For the first time, indea he could picture the variety of the human kind: Arfel belonging to the land of faery, a spirit of the ; Caliban, in far contrast the base entative of tha | earth, a brute em the mud | It was doubtless Sha s motive to ! give both types a pla and meaning in | his pl: of enchantment. I would not deny that he had a ccriain scientific mo- tive in showing the world his idea of an evolutionary growth intermediate between brute and man. ‘Now Hrowning's Caliban is the same | pictaresquc e of Prospero—and some- thing more. Without losing a; objactive force Browning delineates the savage subjective! Sprawling in_the cool slush of his cave and surround: by the abundant life of summer, Caliban looks out over the ocean where sunbeams cross and recross till they weave a | spider’s web of and longs for the solu- | | tion of 3 longer the ‘mere slave of a master, but in a natural and independe questioning in_regard to the existern and nature of Setebos, | whom his dam calls God. His thoughus are busy with the problems of evil and | pain. Setebos, he thinks, rules and vexes | man in_spite and sport.” Above Setebos | is the Quiet, which the lower god apes. | and unable to reach the others happy | life takes his solace in make-believes. In | the Tempest we saw the Caliban form; here we see more of the Caliban soul. The difference in the two poets’ por- trayal of the savage nature measures the growth of three centuries. , The renais- | sance of the sixteenth century was largely | | physical; that of the nineteenth century has been spiritual. Whereas Shakespeare | might present life in its outward mani- | festation Browning is enabled to show | man_ thinking. feeling and struggling for | spiritual gains. Browning's work, in | | short, is based upon a deeper psychoiogy. | In ‘other respects of science Browning represents an immense advance. He had | | at his service the new sciences of an- thropology and folk-lore. He was able to appropriate the modern truth of evolu- . tion. For [t is now known that both life | and’ thought are evolutions from lower forms. As life has assumed in series ever higher and higher embodiment, so his- tory, institutions, comstitutions and cus- toms are the result of ideas which have been developing from the beginning of human_experience. Life and belief are both vital proc Development by | natural and artifical selection of the fittest otganism and the fittest belief is the modern formula of life and opinion. The Caliban of the sixteenth century gains in- finitely in meaning when his kind are seen to be the progenitors of the human forms amid which he grovels. No one | present on_that stage—not Prospero or | Alonso or_Ariel—was aware of the rela- | | tionship. We look upon life with different | eyes, a new interest attaches to every | stage of the process, now that sclence has disclosed the chain by which the last | s linked to the first and how the lowest moves forward to the highest. The new interest in Caliban as modernly known is, then, two-fold: An interest in his per- sonality or inuer experience and an inter- est in the place of that experience in the evolution of man. Browning approaches his subject from this point of view and his poem is illumined fully by the evolu- tionary idea. 1t will be important now to know *just what Browning's treatment of the savage |is. His Caliban exhibits the characteris- | tics of a primitive man—but how prim- | itive and to what stage of evolution does | he belong? It is noticeable that sensa- tions form the chief facts of his experi- He is_especially sensitive in the | sense of touch—the lowest of the five—as is seen. by his love of the cool mud In the | warm summer time. It is evident that | his energy has been expended in physi- cal paths. He is keenly observant, know- | ing the habits of animals, the growth of plants and the temper!f the sea. Perfected in the lower ranges of senso- ry equipment, he is notably defective in respect of self-consciousness. He speaks of himself in the third person in a child- ish manner. He becomes aware of his n- dividuality under two conditions. First, he becomes intoxicated, realizing in this excess of sensation some increase of con- sclousness, lwlth no lmore lflm.relmy}' eflegt than becoming wanton an shing he were born a bird. Had he increased the measure of his mash and honeycomb and pods, probably he would have risen into that state of ecstacy which accompanies the performance of religious rites among all primitive peoples. The personal pro- noun is also employed len he makes something or compares himself with ob- jects, the act of making and comparing giving him Integrity and consclous char- acter. Another childish trait is disclosed in his {mitativeness. He watches Prospero and imitates his master's world with baubles. He makes & book of leaves and writes therein prodigious words and symbols, cuts a branch from a tree for a magic wand, wears a beast's skin for an en- chanter’s robe, tames an ounce and says she is Miranda, keeps for Arlel a crane and for a Caliban and slave selzes a sea bird which he blinds and lames and pens in the rocks to arudge. Such childish con- duct indicates his degree of personal evo- lution. * It is correct to call Caliban gflmmvev but it mfi now be observed that he is in reality quite old in racial history. He is free-minded on his own part, yet not so liberal as to be free from tnéuom and associations that belong to racial life. He has been taught what his dam calls God and of this e mother has been taught by her dam, and so back for un- told generations. Al the general tenets of his belief are fo; by tradts tlmmdm uiw l.ln:. moon-vonhlm,'r but he not invent moon-worship. hat ‘was one of his racial traditions.

Understanding that Calibaf is partly a . child and in part an adult, he may be examined with reference to his eqiup- ment with respect to artistic, moral and inteilectual functioning. The fullness of his sensory experiente has already been commented upon. In a few Instances these sensations merge into esthetic per- ceptions—as when he looks out over the | sea and observes the sunbeams weaving upon the surface a spider web of fire into which some great fish breaks at times, ruffling the meshes and causing the dusk shadows to play amid the light. He has the imagination that reaches the Quiet, and that affects the symbolic quality of his speech. He figures the wind as shouldering the pillared dust. He says he wove wattles to fence in tortoises, then a wave of the sea, feeling the foot of Setebos upon its neck, gasped as a snake does, lolled out its tongue and licked the Wwhole labor flat. According to his means he is a creative artist. [e plles turt, pro- portions the structure, decorates it with Squares of soft white chalk, scratching upon them the image of the moon, sets up 2:1 the lpl:l“ ;olma'ilhpl{(hes (}f trees :xld owns the whole with the gleaming skull o a sloth. ' This is done, he says. solely for the pleasure of the work, the Joy of creation. Not less complete, according to his evo- lutfon, is Caliban's moral equipment. His moral motives are both hate and fear. His mother had taught him to love Sete- | bos, but as hate is his chief experience he can coneeive of God only as a god of pain. Nevertheless, he has conceptions of right and wrong. He knows he should be at work for Prospero and that it Is not right to gibe at Setebos. Fear of punishment recalls him to himself, and under conviction of sin he promises refor- mation. When the storm breaks upon him and the fierce thunder threatens him he seeks to appease the angry god of the skies by promises of loving and fast- ing and praving. As a rational being Caliban was ably in advance of his time, and leads the revolt against current orthodoxy in one point of dispute at least—the belie€ in life after death. His mother held the opinion that Setebos feasted friends and |»_ux‘|i»hs-d enemies in heaven and hell. But )an argues that pain ends with death. appears thus as a primitive sclentist bases his thinking upon observation experience. He has conceived al- eady some notion of causation. He dfs- tinguishes between the system of things he knows—the sun and moon, meteors, clouds, the winds, the sea and its islands, all elements that come within the circle of a singie influence—and the stars that belong in their infinite quietude to an- * other rule. Within the sphere of his ob- servaflon his scrutiny is keen. He knows - the habits of animals—how the badger hunts by moonlight, how the ple plcks into oak warts for worms, how the ants build, how the crabs march from the mountains to the sea, how little birds hate the jay, where she tortoises lay their €ggs, how urchins curl up into a litth ball, pretending death, a(phh al roacha. and how grubs grow into butterfiles, how v:lTrvf rub away and sores are cured with slime. Like other minds, Caltban had . \ ‘worke out an idea of fate. An lmpersonlteg deity. called the Quiet, dweils in the back- ground of being, with stars the outposts of its couch, and eontrols Setebos as Sete- bos vexes mortals. The Quiet is unde- rived, self-contained. having neither o nor grief, since these derive from weal ness. Caliban's doctrine~of evil is th pain is the sign of an angry god's dis- pleasure and the last pain is death, with which an end of ail. Ail life, however, is not afficted with pain in equal degrees. Al need not die, for of the things of the isle some flee afar, some dive, some run up trees.” Some, that is, are elect and redestined to safety, though commonly y_capricious choice. Caliban reverts hers for fllustration to his own experience. He has watched a company of crabs crawi from the mountain to the sea. He has himself let twenty and stoned the twenty-first. He twisted the pincers off the first straggler with purple spots, an gave ove bruised fellow a worm and two Wwormgto one whose nippers ended in red. Doubtless the crabs were as much discon- Sorted ms mortals eir election sure. ithal Caliban up- holds a theory of salvation. Death Is tr?a final redemption, but within the circle of life there is yet escape from pain. “Tha best way to escape his Ire is not to secm too happy He would cheat the god by seeming to suffer when in the best of health and spirits. 8o he dances on dargc nights. moans in the sun, gets under cov- er to laugh. When he cannot cheat Sete- bos he will appease him by sacrifice.

In all these opinions the reader wil' detect Browning 3 motive of showing the derivation of bellef and conduct from the point of view of evolution. The difference, then, between the two modes of dramatization may be stated thus: Shakespeare, simply seizing uponr the savage as a dramatic object, perhaps also as a symbol, gave him a subordinate place In a play of enchantment. relating is conduct to that of the chief actor. Browning detects the soul of the savage, and, individualizing him, dramatizes his actual relation to the movements of lifa and thought. If Brow‘nln{ draws the more elaborate picture it is because he lived In a later age of history and knew his subject more scientifically and intimately. AR LOWELL TRIGGS.
