"We objected to the torching of the booth," he says. "We said the torching was not central...
...character of Caliban (Jack Willis) also goes against convention. Instead of a quick-tempered, bestial brute, Daniels casts Caliban as a calm, wry cynic. He thus lends a shrewd, cynical edge to lines usually spoken in anger or resentment: "You taught me language; and my profit on't is, I know how to curse; the red plague rid you for learning me your language...
