Moby Research Paper

When your life revolves around the sea as ours does, you hear stories. Stories of deep sea monsters, mermaids, giant squids right out of a Moby Dick novel, are just some of the tales we’ve heard. Most stories about mysterious creatures we shrug off as ‘not bloody likely’, but others enter the realm of real possibility.

This is not the first time Ahab has spoken to himself as he often paranoidly talked to himself about what he would do if others tried to hurt him, then proceed to tell himself how crazy he is. These are Ahab’s last words. It’s funny how these are not only his last words, but the first time Ahab said anything with true feeling in the book. Though he may have not killed Moby Dick like he truly wanted, Ahab found the whale again and threw in a few last punches while cursing it and fate before his demise. I feel that, though Ahab did not kill Moby Dick, he was ready to die because he had closure since he found the whale again and was able to throw one final spear and give it his all. Following his death there was silence because the only

A vengeful man, a native, and a man seeking enlightenment board a whaling vessel; this isn’t a joke, this is the United States of America throughout history and the members of the Pequod. Moby Dick is not just a tale about a whaling venture gone awry, it is a metaphor for what America was and is. The Pequod represents the country and government, while the 30 crew members (Melville 430; ch. 126) represents the United State citizens. This would have not been possible to consider in Melville’s time, but it is a true testament to literature being a living text. Melville wasn’t only writing about America in the 1800’s, he was writing about the natures of humanity, and the future of our society.

Society is currently at this peculiar point in which we condemn the sordidness of others, yet we do not acknowledge or attempt to change our own ignoble thoughts and intentions. The vast majority of people have committed an ignoble act or even had a dirty thought at one point in their lives. So how do we justify our own sordidness, yet denounce others for theirs? To put it simply: We interpret it differently. We examine our own thoughts and intentions in a completely different light than how we view others. People possess an entire set of context and past experiences that they can utilize in order to justify their own shameful thoughts and behaviors which they lack when examining the sordidness of others. In this sense, the interpretation of our own sordidness does not necessarily solve the issue. Rather, it allows us to justify it and live with the false belief that our own dishonorable tendencies are more appropriate than those of others.

It seems that Mery is wearing a long kilt upon which few inscriptions are still preserved. The inscriptions on the two sides of the seat are better preserved comparing to those of the kilt. Even though few of the words are missing on the seat’s sides but what remains of the inscriptions are of high quality and deserves a closer examination. The back of the statue is plain with no decoration or inscriptions on it. The inscriptions mention several deities such as Amun, Hathor, and the Ennead.

The setting of Moby-Dick is ideal for the story; the mystique and terror of the sea brings out raw emotions in the men, equalizing them and allowing Melville to tell a story that is about not just a group of humans on a boat, but about human nature itself. Melville personifies the sea, an omnipresent character in the book. Originally, the sea meant escape from "the drizzly November in [Ishmael's] soul" (Melville 27), but as the men travel farther away from land, some of the excitement for which Ishmael hoped vanishes in favor of a nervous fear. The sea comes to represent the unknown, with its "unshored, harbourless immensities," that which is beyond the comprehension of Ishmael, and even that of some of the more experienced whalers. Melville compounds

Folks, this is good huntin', cookin' and eatin'. This is you pitted against the monster of the deep—with the added benefit of a convivial evening in good company with a congenial bunch of friends. The feeling of having braved your fears will make the subsequent relaxation and unwinding all the sweeter. I must warn you, however, that this is neither for the fain-hearted nor for the squeamish: this hunt will separate the men from the boys in the truest sense. The self-inflated macho braggart will be left by the wayside, for that breed is at heart a cowardly bully and no man at all.

In the novel, A Moby Dick, Pip is a young African American boy, who has almost no power on the Pequod. Pip only makes a handful of appearances in the novel, which leads the reader to ask: why does Melville include him in this novel? Pip normally serves as an entertainer for the crew and cleans up the ship. However, after being left in the ocean for hours, he forms a special bond with Ahab. Through their time spent together Pip positively affects Captain Ahab, which is why he is included in the novel.

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.

Many have the desire to control the uncontrollable, or change the unchangeable. This idea is shared through many novels and movies; one of those being Herman Melville’s Moby Dick-a narrated voyage of a whaling ship, the Pequod, and its captain, Ahab, whose one desire was to kill the great Sperm Whale, Moby Dick. As his whaling journey continued, still unsuccessful, Ahab’s character began to change. Many adjectives could be used to describe Ahab’s changing character, but three specific ones are as follows: obsessive, conceited, and manipulative. Ahab’s one desire changes him from an obedient captain to a madman.

Herman Melville, in his renowned novel Moby-Dick, presents the tale of the determined and insanely stubborn Captain Ahab as he leads his crew, the men of the Pequod, in revenge against the white whale. A crew mixed in age and origin, and a young, logical narrator named Ishmael sail with Ahab. Cut off from the rest of society, Ahab attempts to make justice for his personal loss of a leg to Moby Dick on a previous voyage, and fights against the injustice he perceived in the overwhelming forces that surround him. Melville uses a series of gams, social interactions or simple exchanges of information between whaling ships at sea, in order to more clearly present man’s situation as he faces an existence whose meaning he cannot fully grasp.
