The Black Freighter is an allegory that serves the dual purpose of putting you in a distracted state while the authors perform some sleight of hand while also parodying the verbose fashion in which epic tales boil down to "it was all a stupid mistake." You don't need to follow the Black Freighter. It's supposed to be over the top, empty, overly gory and vulgar and ultimately futile.
