the image of youth and innocence Shakespeare cultivates of Miranda and does not seem to be in keeping with her behaviour for the rest of the play. However, others feel that Miranda's speech here is correctly attributed. As the play progresses, Caliban refers to Miranda as his "mistress", saying that it was Miranda who explained to him what the moon and stars are. Furthermore, some critics do acknowledge that while the language in this particular speech is stronger than expected for Miranda, it is far weaker than Prospero's form of address would be given the situation. In popular culture Her lines spoken at the end of Act V, Scene I are the inspiration for the title of the novel Brave New World. Clare Savage, a protagonist of Michelle Cliff's novel No Telephone to Heaven, is frequently seen to be a modernised Miranda. Miranda is featured in the 2019 novella Miranda in Milan, which imagines the events after The Tempest. One of the moons of Uranus is named after her, in keeping with other Uranian moons named after Shakespearian characters.
