According to Conrad, the story isn't about the typhoon itself, but how it affects the characters.

* GrumpyBear: [=MacWhirr=]. In contrast to the rest of his crew, he stands out for being apathic and bitter at times.
* InspiredBy: Joseph Conrad's past experience as a seaman. Characters such as [=MacWhirr=] are also based on actual people that Conrad knew.
* [[SeaStories Sea Story]]
* MinimalistCast: [=MacWhirr=], Jukes and Root are the main three characters while a dozen of other characters are exclusive to certain chapters.

* {{Novella}}
* PlotBasedVoiceCancellation: Certain dialogues are partlially cut by the sound of the typhoon.
