How does the writer use language to describe Gabriel Oak?

Possible discussion points:Naming: Gabriel - biblical character angel Gabriel God's trusted messenger, Oak - strong, sturdy, naturalSimile: 'like the rays in a rudimentary sketch of the rising sun' - rising sun suggesting warmth, hope, safety, and rudimentary meaning basic suggesting simple but beautiful and something with integrityClothing: practical, comfortable, expression of characterThe watch: comparison with the sun and stars suggests connection to nature (come back to his name) and connections to family, as well as amusingly dysfunctional but still relatively trustworthyHow are all of these ideas rooted in language, and what do certain word choices/techniques make us feel or think as readers?
