| Résumé: | Building on scholarship regarding sincerity and regarding Caliban in Shakespeare's Tempest, I explore how rhetoric inflects the potential sincerity of the character's final statementI'll be wise hereafter, / And seek for gracewhich has generated widespread scholarly disagreement. Although Caliban may appear more sincere (his act 2 soliloquy) or insincere (his volte-face responses to Prospero in act 1) in some portions of the play than in others, his development highlights not a reified sincerity or insincerity but the mercurial potential of the selfthrough varied inner forces such as reason and the passionsto use the notion of sincerity as a cover for selfish ends. |
