Notes:
147 p, The Caliban-Prospero encounter in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" has evolved as a metaphor for the colonial experience. The present study utilizes the Caliban symbol in examining the influence of colonialism in Caribbean literature, focusing on the works of three major writers from the Caribbean islands: Jean Rhys, of British descent from Dominica; George Lamming, of African origin from Barbados; and Sam Selvon, of mixed Indian and Scottish heritage from Trinidad.
"Condé's work seems to elicit a critical discourse saturated with spatial metaphors or reflections on the theme of space and travel. Critics state that is difficult to separate Condé's narrative from her concepts of home, homeland, ancestry." (Rosello)
