The only humans she has seen are her father, Prospero, and their monster slave, Caliban. After being introduced to an abundance of people for the first time, she says this line to emphasis her genuine excitement for meeting more of humanity. However, what is it the makes this quote so memorable? Is it because it accurately represents the climatic scene?
Her innocent outlook towards humanity and her ability to still see people as beautiful shows how her isolation has protected her from the mistakes of mankind. It may also help that in author Aldous Huxley wrote a iconic book titled Brave New World as an allusion to these famous Shakespearean words.
However, the twist is that this society is a genetically modify humanity that avoids sexual urges by taking a drug Soma and is categorized into classes at birth. When John is introduced to this strange world for the first time, Huxley has John naively quote the line from Miranda in order to establish the purity of the character. The connections between Brave New World and The Tempest become debatable after the underlining fact that John makes a reference to Miranda. Some argue that the story of John the Savage and his experiences with the genetically modified world is a sub plot to what Miranda may have experienced when she returned home to marry her new husband.
Shakespeare left The Tempest as a cliffhanger in that he did not give the audience any clues to what may have happened to Miranda and her father once they returned back to civilization. Many wondered if Miranda specifically successfully was able to adapt Western culture after being isolated for such a long portion of her life. Nevertheless, some believe that Brave New World is a direct parody to the plot line of The Tempest but in a dystopian society. An Introduction to the Novel by Aldous Huxley:.

In fact, that's what brought them to the island in the first place.
And it was caused by Prospero—Miranda's dad—on purpose so the crew could come to the island. When Miranda finds out there are other men in the world, she's straight up shocked. It's hard to imagine, but she's never been anywhere but this tiny island, and she's never met anyone but the same three people.

As you can see, there's a lot of repressed sexuality beneath the surface here.
