<p>While Brueghel's Yonah emerges from the fish with his hands raised in a gesture of prayer, looking submissive and penitent, Romano's Yonah appears terrified, and Asarfati's prophet is apathetic.  What was Yonah feeling before, during,and after being delivered by the fish? When thrown overboard, did he welcome death, as suggested by R. Natan in the Mekhilta?  When swallowed, did he view the fish as an instrument of salvation or of further punishment?
