Concept:The speaker is a character who speaks poetically about the island’s magical sounds and his longing to relive a beautiful dream.
Explanation:This speech appears in Act III, Scene 2 of
The Tempest.
In these lines, the speaker says the isle is full of noises and sweet airs that give delight and do not hurt.
He describes hearing a thousand twangling instruments and voices that could make him sleep again after waking.
He then recalls a dream in which the clouds opened to show riches about to fall on him.
When he woke, he cried because he wanted to dream again.
This character is Caliban, who is speaking to Stephano and Trinculo.
Unlike the earlier, harsh portrayal of Caliban, this speech reveals his sensitive, imaginative side and his deep bond with the island.
The poetic and dreamlike quality of the lines helps confirm that Caliban is the speaker.
Answer:D. Caliban
