What is the attitude of gonzalo towards the danger in the ship in tempest
Answers
we witness a ship caught in the storm and breaking into pieces. The lines spoken by these characters in this life threatening situation just before their ship sinks reveals their true nature and personalities. What these three people have in common is that just like any other ordinary human being they are frightened of death, more so when they have to face it by drowning in the high seas.
Gonzalo is the old councillor who sympathises with Prospero the rightful Duke of Milan. What is striking about him is that he is very superstitious. In Shakespeare's time it was believed that the complexion of a person would reveal how that particular person would meet his end. Gonzalo looks at the face of the boatswain and intuits that his complexion reveals that he will be hanged at the gallows

In the opening scene, when the ship was in danger of being wrecked, Gonzalo talks in a lighter mood, deriving comfort from boatswain who shows his authority on the ship. In the midst of the danger he feels hopeful, on the ground that the boatswain has no drowning marks on him and he will die on land by hanging.
