Key Quotations for Miranda

Here are three key quotations that highlight aspects of Miranda's character:

__'I might call him'__

'I might call him'

  • 'I might call him / A thing divine, for nothing natural / I ever saw so noble.'
    • Miranda has only ever seen Caliban and Prospero. Ferdinand is the first young man she has seen and so he seems unnatural and amazing.
__'O, I have suffered'__

'O, I have suffered'

  • 'O, I have suffered / With those that I saw suffer! A brave vessel, / Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her, / Dash'd all to pieces.'
    • Miranda is very empathetic. She mourns for the men who she thinks have died in the storm. She pleads with her father to stop it.
__'I am your wife'__

'I am your wife'

  • 'I am your wife, if you will marry me. / If not, I’ll die your maid. To be your fellow / You may deny me, but I’ll be your servant / Whether you will or no'
    • Miranda delivers an impassioned speech to Ferdinand. She is essentially insisting that they get married - this shows that she is not as demure (reserved) or meek (she) as she seems at first.
