  • 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...

  • Moby Dick White Whale
    440 words
    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. Throughout his journey on sea, Ahab maintains focus on one thing, and only one thing, killing Moby Dick. It comes to show throughout the story that a close-minded man is blind to his surroundings. On a whaling mission before, Ahab's leg was bitten off by the white whale, and ever since then, Ahab has focused only on the r...

  • Moby Dick Book End One
    621 words
    Finishing "Moby Dick" goes up there with my greatest (and few) academic achievements. It was a gruelling read, but -- -in the end -- -completely worthwhile. I've been reading it for 6 months. I started over the summer, during an abroad program in Oxford, and I remember sitting outside reading when one of the professors came over, saw what I was reading, and said: "It's a very strange book, isn't it?" Looking back, that might be the best way to describe it. The blurb from D. H. Lawrence on the ba...

  • Moby Dick Whale Oil Life
    768 words
    Moby Dick is strictly for adults, which is not to say it's salacious or titillating (which, after all, is really just an appeal to that which is most adolescent in us). No, Moby Dick is a book for people who have experienced something of life, felt the painful disappointment of easy answers, smelled the fear of their own mortality and searched frantically for a solution to the puzzle of being alive. The fact that this book is often assigned to adolescents to read is a crime. It's like assigning ...

  • 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...

  • Ahab Man Or God
    653 words
    "Call him Ahab, a grand, ungodly, god-like man in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (85). He is a man whose enthusiasm is so great, mission so inspirational, and manner so intense that few can resist the urge to follow him in his journey to kill the white whale. 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...

  • Years Of His Life Moby Dick
    1,089 words
    To conclude, Act IV was an important act in King Lear. This is because it showed all three phases of madness that the King had gone through. The phase of him being mad, which was shown through his garments and hallucinations, the phase of him coming out of his madness, by knowing the means of his madness and lastly the phase of him overcoming his madness, shown through his tragic vision. Ahab experienced quite similar emotions. The main theme of Moby Dick was revenge, but it is not secret that m...

  • Moby Dick Ahab Reader
    859 words
    Herman Melville employs numerous motifs in the novel Moby Dick that all serve some purpose, though that purpose is oftentimes somewhat ambiguous. One of the more peculiar motifs that I traced throughout the novel was Melville s strange tendency to foreshadow events to come. Normally, most novels attempt to maintain a certain amount of suspense until the climax, which usually contains some sort of surprise for the reader. But before getting even halfway through Moby Dick, the reader knows that wh...

  • 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...

    ? Vengeance Can Only Occur Through Providence? ? Man cannot get away with vengeance because vengeance is God? s 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 find...
