Terry speaking out in the cab shows his inability to “keep quiet” and his regret as becoming a “bum” through following the orders of Johnny Friendly and the mob. While charley only sees from a financial viewpoint “Do you know how much the piers are worth that we control through the local?” However Terry is more focused on fulfilling his dream, something which no amount of money can reclaim, his sense of dignity and respect. This is evident when he quotes “I could’ve been a contender. I could have been somebody”. Terry’s speech alone in this scene shows his detachment from being ordered around and stuck in a cage like a “pigeon”, deaf and dumb to speaking out and attempting to redeem his sense of dignity and power to become a

"Even as on an immense, raging sea, assailed by huge wave crests, a man sits in a little rowboat trusting his frail craft, so, amidst the furious torments of this world, the individual sits calmly supported by the principium individuationis and relying on it" (Crane 246). Crane portrays nature as uncaring in his descriptions of the unforgiving and relentless sea. He states at one point in his story that, "A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats" (Crane 284). Despite the fact that the men in the lifeboat are tired and that their death seems imminent, if the sea does not let up, the sea continues on in wave after wave of relentless fatigue. Nature, in this case the sea, is portrayed as

Here they are forced to battle and struggle against the crushing forces of nature, all the while suffering immense psychological and physical distress. Although the setting is more suited for an adventure tale; Stephen Crane’s recollection focuses less on the adrenaline-filled aspect of danger, and more on the overwhelming forces of nature and its indifference to mankind; his recollection is wrought with symbolism reflecting and emphasizing such motifs as nature’s indifference and man’s insignificance in nature. In this essay, I will discuss how symbolism is used in “The Open Boat” to reflect and portray Man’s insignificance in nature, as well as Nature’s indifference to man’s plight. In the beginning, the waves are the primary obstacle of which they must overcome: “None of them knew the color of the sky.
