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.
