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.
Half human, half fish is a Mermaid.
Cuz hez da bad-guy!! Caliban is the "slave" of Prospero. Prospero and Miranda, his daughter, used to like Caliban but once he tried to sexually assault Miranda. Caliban's mother was a witch called Sycorax who was the actual owner of the island, but she died. Caliban believes that the island should be his instead of Prospero's.
In mythology, yes a mermaid is half human half fish.
Merman/Mermaid
no it doesnt have half human head,and whiting is common fish caught in Australian oceans
Like a mermaid, or merman?
Well they are half human and half fish.
Caliban is an outcast because he is a monsterlike being and not human.
half god.Triton wasn't half of anything, actually. He was a Greek god, the son of both a god and goddess of seas (Poseidon and Amphitrite). Not as powerful as his father, of course. Though in paintings and statues, he was represented as a merman, which is half human and half fish.
Caliban is described as a "monster, half-man and half-fish". If an actress wanted to play the part, she could disguise her shape with a bulky and padded costume. As Caliban is something of a sexual threat to Miranda, you wouldn't want to look too much like a eunuch. Perhaps padded shoulders and upper body. Then you can do things with scales and glitter, with splotches of dark makeup or paint, or strings of what might pass for seaweed.
mermaids are creature(s) that live underwater... they are half-human and a half-fish.........
well mermaids we all know are half human half fish so a body is formed in the sea by fish
