Ariel = Big Smoke Monster from Lost?

Ariel is sorta like the big smoke monster from the show Lost, but in a more convenient way for the people on the island. Like the smoke monster, Ariel was on the island before everyone showed up and possesses magical powers. Even though Ariel isn't going around dragging people and killing them like the smoke monster, he still has a big impact on the island. Like the smoke monster he uses his power to control the people on the island. The smoke monster would take form of dead people to manipulate people on Lost or just take the form of smoke and drag people around, but the smoke monster wasn't a slave to anyone. Ariel takes the form of the harpy he calls out all the people and their wrong doings, giving them a chance to seek some help or do something instead of just killing them. Which makes me think that if Ariel was not a slave to Prospero he might've acted in the way the smoke monster did, possibly just killing all the people plotting to kill and betray one another, or just killing everyone when they got on the island. But Ariel could've been super chill without Prospero and just helped people off of the island if they ever got stuck.
