  • The Great White Whale And Its Many Meanings
    859 words
    The Great White Whale and its Many Meanings Herman Melville, in his epic novel Moby-Dick, utilizes the symbolism of the color of the Great White Whale to demonstrate his theme of duality. However, Captain Ahab tragically had a single mind set towards Moby Dick, as he believed that the whale was the symbol of the worlds evil and had to be destroyed. On the other hand, Ishmael sees that the color white can mean many various and opposing things. It would be dangerous to settle upon any one single m...

  • Scarlet Letter And Moby Dick
    988 words
    Vengeance Can Only Occur Through Providence Man cannot get away with vengeance because vengeance is Gods job (Great Books, MD). Through this quote, one can conclude that man is not one to judge others and exact revenge. Moby-Dick by Herman Melville and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne are two anecdotes that teach a lesson in regard to revenge. The Scarlet Letter, telling a tale about the commitment of adultery, reveals that revenge is unable to be done by man. Obsessed with finding his ...

    Captain Ahab in the novel Moby Dick is quite a character. He is the Captain of the whaling ship the Pequod and is out on a voyage to kill the great white whale named Moby Dick.

  • Relationship With God Older Brother
    1,544 words
    Jacob was born to be a deceiver. He came out of Rebekah's womb "grasping the heel" of his older brother Esau, setting the pattern of deception his life would soon take. But he was also born of God's promise, born to be the father of Nations and revered by his people. How can a trickster inherit such a high place of esteem without earning God's approval through pious prayer and obedience? Elijah the prophet was also special to God; but it was not his patronage that was highly valued, it was his h...

  • Herman Melville Similarities In Claggart And Captain Ahab
    1,183 words
    Herman Melville was a struggling writer in the mid- 1800 s, who spent a few years of his life as a sailor and crew member of whaling ships in the south seas. These experiences greatly influenced his writing, causing there to be many similarities among his novels. In two of his works, Moby-Dick, and Billy Budd, Melville seems to have created two characters, Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick, and John Claggart from Billy Budd, who both share some very comparable qualities and experiences. The most preva...

  • Good And Evil Moby Dick
    618 words
    But the point which drew all eyes was that Scarlet Letter, so fantastically embroidered and illuminated upon her bosom. (Hawthorne, 2000, 12) The author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville, goes to great lengths to show that the color white is everything, including the greatest Evil embodied in Moby Dick. Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter, emphasizes how Hester is the outcast from society and forced to live on the fringes, on the boundary between the town and the woods the border o...

    "Call him Ahab, a grand, ungodly, god-like man in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (85).

Although Ahab is only a man, he controls his ship like he is God fighting evil. Ahab looks like a man cut away from the stake, when the fire has overrunning wasted all the limbs without consuming them (128). On his forehead, is a prominent liv...

  • Lost A Part Ahab Insanity Control
    920 words
    The first few times that Ahab is introduced to the reader and to his crew, he appears to be inhuman. Even his description when he first appears on deck states that he "seemed made of solid bronze" (Melville 117). To compare him to a statue is to distance him from humanity - he is not a breathing, emotional being. However, as the book continues, it becomes blatantly obvious that Ahab hates his obsession and is greatly disturbed by the fact that he is obsessed. This self-hatred makes Ahab human be...

Ahab experienced quite similar emotions. The main theme of Moby Dick was revenge, but it is not secret that m...

    1,536 words
    Symbolism dominates literature. Without it, the author is handcuffed and is left without a highly effective tool to convey his or her message. By using symbolism, an author can still maintain an objective appearance by letting the literary device do its work in expressing views, relaying opinions or simply stating the facts. We encounter a great deal of symbolism in Herman Melville's Moby Dick. The book itself is a clear representation of the American society, its values, goals and inhabitants, ...

  • Moby Dick Captain Ahab
    564 words
    The meaning of the name itself is quite simple: The whale was often sighted in the vicinity of the Island of Mocha, and Dick was merely a generic name like Jack or Tom. The transformation of Mocha to Moby presented a greater mystery. Melville himself never explained the origin of the latter word. The answer will probably never be known. The whiteness of the whale has many different meanings. There are obvious ones that are innocence, purity, and cleanliness. But there is also the aspect of white...
