While Brody runs from conflict, Quint sails into it. As an old-time fisherman, Quint's character represents the old world, in which humans used the planet as they saw fit (compare Hooper, the new breed of environmentalist who seeks to understand and preserve sharks).May 19, 2019

Robert Shaw brought the idea that the Quint character he was playing should be eating something, jaws mimicking the shark itself and they gave him saltine crackers to champ on.

If they truly can't be helped by those on-shore, all that can be done is to kill the shark themselves.
For Quint's monologue, — which many refer to as the “Indianapolis speech” — Shaw rewrote parts of it to make it his own, adding Quint's spirit into it. The actor also suggested to Spielberg that he take a few swigs of liquor before doing the scene.Jul 4, 2021
