Character of the Beast

Let's phrase it this way. When a farmer orders his animals (beasts) around, how is his use of authority different than when he is trying to influence a human being that he respects?

The Beast is composed of the people (the sea). Compare being herded like cattle to being influenced as a thinking person.

Why is the beast called "The Beast"?
