Quote #7
FERDINAND
Might I but through my prison once a day
Behold this maid. All corners else o' th' earth
Let liberty make use of. Space enough
Have I in such a prison. (1.2.597-600)
Although Prospero has made a big show of bullying Ferdinand, the prince insists that as long as he can see Miranda, he's free enough. That's kind of sweet but also a little scary, don't you think?
Quote #8
CALIBAN
I'll swear upon that bottle to be thy true
subject, or the liquor is not earthly. (2.2.129-130)
Caliban, thinking that Stefano must be a god, misjudges Stefano's power. As Caliban is stuck in Prospero's service, because he knows no one more powerful, Caliban sees Stefano as an advocate and something of a savior. This isn't Caliban being malicious; rather he is naïve and hopeful about freedom.
