Burdens
Like the Titan, Atlas, the characters of The Tempest have, or had, burdens unbearable as holding up the sky. Caliban has the burden of servitude to Miranda and Prospero, Ariel is under Prospero’s power until Prospero sets him free, Prospero is no longer the Duke of Milan, and Miranda has to suffer through her father’s horridly boring stories. Though all the characters have completely different problems they are all connected through the way they perceive their personal problems. This foreshadows and symbolizes a future connection of all the characters through a shared hate for something or someone.
