Written Commentary: The Sea In this excerpt from John Banville’s The Sea, the setting is established in the protagonist’s childhood holiday home. The author’s diction and syntax help create the imagery used to build up the protagonist’s resentful feelings recalling his family experiences and memories involving the holidays they spent in that house.
