What is the major difference I am the way that Caliban and Ariel are treated?

sure. Ariel is a gentle creature, I imagine her as a white short haired womanly creature, pale and with rosy lips. Caliban on the other hand is swarthy and misformed, I imagine him as a hunchback hairy man. A long beard and uncombed hair. Caliban, I imagine is wearing leather and fur. Ariel is probably wearing white robe, soft and fluttery. Ariel is airy, so she would walk swiftly, soft step, like a ballerina. Caliban is more earthy so I would think he would slither and slosh along.

I hope I helped.
