A Calibanic democracy is doomed to ultimate collapse. The mob, once freed from superstitious fears may for a time usurp supremacy by means of violence and force of arms. But a rule whose claim to power is not based on superiority of mind will soon stoop again to the control of those who can justly make a claim thus based. The French Revolution was a short interregnum of Caliban, of a seemingly civilized Caliban, but morally and mentally little better than the savage monster of the enchanted island.
