Legg’d like a man! and his fins like arms! Warm, o’ my troth! I do now let loose my opinion, hold it no longer: this is no fish, but an islander, that hath lately suffer’d by a thunder-bolt. [Thunder.] Alas, the storm is come again! My best way is to creep under his gaberdine; there is no other shelter hereabout: misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. I will here shroud till the dregs of the storm be past.
– William Shakespeare
The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2. Some of The Tempest’s best humor is provided by the two comic sidekicks Trinculo and Stephano and nowhere is this more evident than in this scene where they meet the strange looking Caliban. Here Trinculo spots the monstrous looking creature sheltering under his cloak and decides to join him after hearing a loud burst of thunder.
