Gonzalo (The Tempest)

Gonzalo is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

An honest and trusted adviser to King Alonso of Naples, he has a good heart and an optimistic outlook, and is described as noble. For example, when Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, were set adrift at sea, Gonzalo took pity on the two of them, supplying them not only with the food and water necessary to survive but also with those things that make life easier. In addition, Gonzalo is the only character able to see Caliban as more than a demonic beast. Gonzalo first arrives on the Prospero's island with Alonso, Ferdinand, Sebastian, Antonio, Stefano, and Trinculo during a storm while returning from the wedding of Alonso’s daughter. During their time on the island, Gonzalo repeatedly attempts to lighten the mood by discussing the beauty of the island. An old, honest lord, he speaks cheerfully on the miracle of the reconciliation of the lords. Many often see Gonzalo as the mouthpiece of the play, who mirrors Shakespeare's relativist beliefs. The role was portrayed by many of the renowned actors. His heart was of a good man and he did all he could for his peers. An honest man by nature
