During the writing of the play there was an interest in the audience about the European colonizers and the natives in many places around the world.

In the play it is shown that Prospero thinks about himself superior than Caliban. He thought he has given education to the Caliban. But Caliban soon realized that Prospero gave him education to take the leadership from and Prospero thinks Caliban as a second class citizen. Soon Caliban became violent and angry with him.

So from the drawn theme of the play it can be said that the relationship between the colonizer and the settler was never warm.
