Question

How is Caliban's idea that Stephano should be king an example of faulty thinking?

A. Because Caliban doesn't realize that Stephano is friends with Prospero
B. Because Stephano wants to be Caliban's master, not just king of the island
C. Because Stephano is the youngest prince and cannot inherit his father's throne
D. Because Caliban is being manipulated by Ariel into thinking Stephano is a friend

Answer 1

The correct answer and how Caliban's idea that Stephano should be king is an example of faulty thinking is B. Because Stephano wans to be Caliban's master, not just king of the island.

Caliban tells  Stephano and Trinculo that he is "subject to a tyrant, a sorcerer, that by his cunning hath cheated me of the island." He is talking about how Prospero had become his master and Caliban wants to be released. In order to do that, they need to kill Prospero and Stephano would be the king of the island. Ironically, Caliban does not know how kingship works, and Stephano does not want to release him. He wants to be his master and king of the island. He even refers to Caliban as "servant monster" and orders him to drink.

Answer 2

The idea proposed by Caliban regarding Stephano to be made the King exemplifies faulty thinking because:

B). Because Stephano wants to be Caliban's master, not just king of the island.

• 'Faulty thinking' is described as the 'flaw or error in the thought patterns which is in discrepancy with the reality.'
• In the given situation, Caliban's thought of making Stephano as the thinking would be considered faulty because he did not know the political tactics.
• Caliban fails to recognize the true intentions of Stephano who had the wish to hire him as his servant and himself become the island's king.
• This shows that his thought pattern is entirely distinct from the reality of the situation.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
