Kelvin and Rhyea’s relationship on the station are simply a regret of Kelvins past that the ocean discovered in his dreams. Rhyea is the embodiment of an unrelenting memory of his failures, a reminder of his personal faults and their effects on the love of his enraged life.

Because we don’t know much about Kelvins past it hard for us to understand his previous views other than as a scientist. Because of the events that happen on Solaris the only thing that Kelvin has to define him (other than air) is taken away. Even his fake wife from the dead Rhyea understands that he changes throughout the story. The irony of this is as a psychologist Kelvin should have a better hold of his emotions and keep a linear way of thinking in strenuous
