Quote #4
But on the whole I felt less torn in two when I was with him. There was no one in the whole ship whom I dared take into my confidence. (2.62)
The captain feels a lot better when he takes the fugitive Leggatt under his wing. Now he has someone to talk to, and an ally in his isolation from his crew. A Bonnie for his Clyde, a Robin for his Batman, a Louise for his Thelma.
Quote #5
I was not wholly alone with my command; for there was that stranger in my cabin. (2.73)
Leggatt completely changes the way the captain feels onboard his ship. Instead of being alone, the captain feels like he has someone to care for and someone to care for him. It's amazing how much of a difference a single person can make when you're struggling with loneliness.
Quote #6
I felt that I was appearing an irresolute commander to those people who were watching me more or less critically. (2.73)
The captain can't help but feel as though his crew is scrutinizing every decision he makes. So as you can imagine, he's pretty insecure and alienated in basically everything he does.
