Quote 9 I prithee Remember I have done thee worthy service, Told thee no lies, made thee no mistakings, served Without or grudge or grumblings. Thou did promise To bate me a full year. (I.ii.) Meaning- Ariel addresses these words to Prospero, emphasizing his loyalty in the hopes that his master will at last grant him his freedom. This moment reveals that Ariel has worked for Prospero not of his own will, but rather as an indentured servant. The way in which Ariel phrases his request for freedom so carefully and indirectly also sheds light on the degree to which he fears Prospero. Despite being a spirit with great abilities, Ariel is ultimately no match for Prospero’s deep learning in the magic arts and must therefore obey his command.
