When Felix sees himself through Miranda’s eyes for a moment, he panics because he thinks she might see him as a “full-blown maniac, and paranoid into the bargain" (147). He wants to think that she sees him as a lordly father figure, but he reassures himself that he is not crazy. He insists that he is not just making things up. He says that “Ariel exists. People other than Prospero see him and hear him. The enchantments are real. Hold onto that. Trust the play” but then he asks if the play is trustworthy (147).
