Read the excerpt from midsummer by derek walcott.
praise had bled my lines white of any more anger,
and snow had inducted me into white fellowships,
while calibans howled down the barred streets of an empire
this excerpt makes an allusion to the shakespearean character caliban, who was forced into servitude and suffered harsh treatment. what is the effect of alluding to this character?

The answer is:

It draws a comparison between the rioters and the character.

In the excerpt from "Midsummer," by Derek Walcott, the speaker feels that the rioters are similar to Shakespearean character Caliban in "The Tempest." Half human and half beast, Caliban represents an exploited subject of colonialism, as he rebelled his master, Prosperous. As a consequence, Walcott considers the rioters are uprising similarly in search of equality.
