To me, the thing that makes alcatraz island so intriguing is the impossibility of the island. No matter what way you put it, everything about it seems so formidable, the isloation, the frigid waters, the prison itself. Everything about it just seems so daunting and almost depressing as wherever you look is just a brick wall, no escape, no freedom, just a rock.
