Throughout the text "The Open Boat" Crane vividly describes the ocean. He speaks of it's constant movement, change in colors, and temperature. The ocean is the biggest adversary to the men in the boat. They are trying to survive the ocean's constant attempts to sink them and pull them away from land. In this story, the setting is also the antagonist.

Answer:

In the short story “The Open Boat,” four men are cramped together in a small dinghy after the ship that they are traveling on has capsized. The men are at the mercy of the ocean. Stephen Crane accentuates this setting by mentioning that the men could be killed at any moment. The cook is forced to bail water out of the dinghy, while the oiler and the correspondent must row continuously to survive. Crane constantly mentions the ever-present chance of death the four men face by noting the never-ending waves, the water continuously filling the boat, and the flimsy paddles that could snap at any time. Stephen Crane’s purpose in drawing attention to the setting is to show the reader how people are helpless when at nature’s mercy. The saying “time and tide wait for no man” is true. People may try to conquer nature, but ultimately, all they do is survive nature. That is because nature is relentless and all-powerful. It doesn’t stop to judge the plight of a person and limit the force it exerts on that person.
