Imperialidade e subjugação? Problematizando a decolonialidade na obra The Tempest William Shakespeare

Abstract

This research has as goal analyze decolonial perspectives which are presents in the thoughts and speeches Caliban's character in the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare (1611). This work corresponds to qualitative approach of a bibliographic sphere, permeated by the bias of literary analysis of the play sustained by the decolonial studies. The problematization, circumscribes in the forms of hierarchization of power meshed by the colonizing the figure of Prospero underlying the people of the island. In front of analyses, we identify that the subject posted as the sulbatern – native – by the ruler – Propero – it is not at the mercy and passivity of acceptance of the colonizations ́ processes. On the contrary the native represented by Caliban subvert the imperialism when it seeks forms of learning and manipulating the language of your oppressor.
