Shakespeare hasn't been doing a lot of thinking since 1616 when he died. If he had thoughts about Caliban prior to that date they were likely along the lines of "I think the audience might like him" or "Who can we cast in the role?" Shakespeare was a practical man of the theatre, and these kinds of concerns must have been uppermost in his mind.
