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.
I think you mean Caliban
Some people think that it's an anagram of "cannibal".
Caliban calls Stephano a god, because Stephano has introduced Caliban to alcohol.
The Tempest
Caliban and Prospero hate each other because Caliban tried to sexually assault Miranda. Caliban has been taught how to speak and Caliban insulted his learned gift by just using it to insult Prospero and Miranda.

In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," Prospero's two slaves are Caliban and Ariel. Caliban is a beast-like, native inhabitant of the island who resents Prospero's rule, while Ariel is a magical spirit who serves Prospero willingly in exchange for the promise of freedom.
He's lecherous, treacherous, credulous and very bitter and resentful.
No, Caliban from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" is described as a deformed and monstrous creature, but he is not half fish and half human. He is usually portrayed as a wild and uncivilized being with human and bestial characteristics.
In Shakespeare's "The Tempest," Caliban is taught to speak by Prospero, who arrives on the island and takes control after being shipwrecked there. Prospero initially teaches Caliban language and communication, hoping to civilize him. However, Caliban later resents this impartation, feeling that it has only led to his subjugation and loss of his natural identity. This relationship highlights themes of colonization and the complexities of power and language.
