Suddenly, light streamed into both sides of the salon, through two oblong openings. The liquid masses appeared brightly lit by electrical lights. Two crystal panes separated us from the sea...

like take conseil: in the english version you just think ok that’s his name but like. it’s a french word. okay cool a lot of names are words. however the book itself was originally french. they are canonically speaking french throughout the whole thing. like imagine aronnax musing to himself like “hm. i must get advice for this matter” and conseil showing up in the room out of nowhere like “master called?” and then half the time his advice is just “I dont know I don’t really have a stake in this. check out this interesting fish.” it’s like having a character named hope and having the other characters talk about needing to have hope (concept)while hope (character) is standing right next to them.

and then we have ned land. the man who wants to get the fuck out of the ocean and back on solid ground. and his last name is land.
