Answer 2

Language is without a doubt a powerful weapon for subjugation against others. In the play, Ariel is a powerful being capable of creating storms, however, he is at the command of Prospero. This subordation obeys the manipulation over Ariel. Prospero repeatedly reminds Ariel of how he rescued Ariel from the evil witch Sycorax to make him think that he is in perpetual debt.
