 Simon Hay: The Colonial Discourse of Robert Browning's "Caliban"

Caliban's oppressive domination of the ounce (which "he makes cower and crouch"), the pouch-bill crane (which he pre-emptorily "bids go wade for fish and straight disgorge"), and the sea-beast ("which he snared, / Blinded the eyes of"), is all done as he "[p]lays thus at being Prosper", implying that Prosper's methods of domination are similar.

 Science Fiction Weekly Interview
Caliban is an important character in Ilium—except that he's not quite the same Caliban most Shakespeare scholars and interpretations have come to know.
The Caliban that most modern audiences "know"—at least for the last half-century or so—is a weak, pale, politically correct shadow of the slithery monstrosity that made audiences shiver in Shakespeare's day.
Today's heavy-handed political interpretation is that Caliban was a poor victim—an oppressed but noble native soul straining under the yoke of capitalist-colonial-imperialism—but Shakespeare and his audiences understood that Caliban was a monster—and a really monstrous monster, ready to rape and impregnate Prospero's lovely daughter at the slightest opportunity.
