This article will discuss the elements of how Cora Hamilton finds her inner self and soul.

The setting of Rip Tide plays an important role in Cora's transformation. For one, in the beginning scene in New York, viewers can easily tell that Cora is under stress and pressure from her modeling career. The photographers and paparazzi who work with the director of the photoshoot cause more stress on Cora, as she fears making mistakes. Should she make even a tiny mistake, her career would be in jeopardy and her reputation would be ruined. When Cora sees a viral video of her running out of the photoshoot in an emotional state and then falling down a staircase, she is saddened to see various comments about her online.

When Cora settles in Australia, however, viewers can see she is in a much happier state of mind, as there are no cameras following her around. When Cora learns to surf, she is very happy, because surfing brings her closer to the wonders of nature. In addition, her aunt Margot encourages Cora to live a happy life when Cora arrives in Australia. Cora's decision to live with her aunt Margot in Australia has helped Cora settle down and live with her new surroundings.
