Well, I think that we are supposed to put ourselves in the place of JB's interlocutor. As far as the text goes, I believe that we find out that this man is a lawyer just like Jean-Baptiste. However, think about what that means. If we are Jean-Baptiste's interlocutor, and the interlocutor ins just like Jean-Baptiste, who does that make us but Jean-Baptiste. Well, I at least think that the book is saying that we are all judge-penitents. We all wish to control, to stalk the decks of ships, and never do we wish to acknowledge that we have a responsibility to others.
