I think that one of Cesaire's more important ideas is that
the rights of man are inalienable and are granted to all men,
nothing to the contrary withstanding. This means that we can find
faults with Caliban and his understanding of the world, that we
can identify more with Prospero's world view, and yet we must
confer on Caliban his basic human rights to life and liberty, to
self-government. This is why Cesaire's characters are not perfect
examples: because we must recognize the humanity in a flawed
character, and the susceptibility in a strong character.
