This line shows the innocence of Miranda. Ferdinand had been doing work for Prospero and Miranda offered to do some of the work in order to help him. In response Ferdinand said that he would never allow Miranda to have to do work. Miranda goes onto to tell Ferdinand that she had never seen another woman before and that the only male she had ever seen before meeting Ferdinand was her father. This is like when the Native Americans first saw the white Europeans because both times they were introduced to something/someone that they had never seen before. Miranda goes on to say how she never knew what to except when seeing another human but now that she had met Ferdinand she would be content with spending the rest of her life in his company. This can be seen as naive by Miranda because she hadn’t known Ferdinand for very long but she was already willing to say that she wanted to be with him. The line has a direct correlation with the main idea of the play because there is a constant theme of Miranda’s lack of knowledge of things outside of the island or innocence. This is similar to when she is told by Prospero that she is a princess. Prospero has to remind her of this because she has no knowledge of the outside world. The innocence of Miranda is similar to that of the Native Americans when the colonist first came because they had no idea what to expect, the only thing that the Native Americans knew before these interactions was what they had in their tribes and in Miranda’s case she had only known her father and Caliban who wasn’t even a human.
