How did Santiago think of the sea?

Santiago compares the sea to a woman.

“.....she is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so cruel…He always thought of her as feminine [la mar] and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them.”
