The most interesting passages here focus on the souls and minds entangled with the wild environment around them, to the point where distinctions have begun to fade away, characters growing into each other, like Davey Jones's strange crew in those Pirate movies.

This romantic influence though waxes and wanes, as the sentiments of the character and overall identity of the novel feel really outdated.
