Monstrous No More: How Shakespeare's Caliban and the Community College Student Aspire Together
Gold Wright, Jill Y.
CEA Forum, v35 n1 Win-Spr 2006
Many students enter classes like the Shakespeare character Caliban, knowing books to be powerful but feeling eluded by them, unable to access their knowledge. Author Jill Wright shares new-found inspiration and insight she discovered while co-directing Act III, Scene ii of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and suddenly realized a direct and quite powerful connection between Caliban, the monster who lives on Prospero's island, and the aspiring community college student.
