I
have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he hath no drowning-mark
upon him; his complexion is perfect
gallows.
-Gonzalo
What a great line! Gonzalo is standing on deck in a storm. People are running all over the place, and many are afraid that this is the end. But Gonzalo looks at one of the crewmen and decides that this fellow has the look of someone who’s destined to be hanged, not drowned. And so Gonzalo is now convinced that the ship is not going down, and there’s he’s in no danger of drowning. I love it.
