Shakespeare believes that the inner spirit is typical of what the outer appearance shows. Caliban is the perfect example, ugly on both the outside and the inside. I think such a lesson is taught in much literature, although there are often contrasts in such people as the Hunchback of Notre Dame who is beautiful inside when treated beautifully.
