utilises the symbolism of the colour of the Great White Whale to demonstrate his theme of duality. All the different character on the Pequod seem to be a representation of the good and evil sides of humanity. Upon first reading, the novel seems to be a simple but rather drawn-out documentation of whaling; on closer inspection, however, shows how Melville examines the terrifying realities of society.

With a lightning strike, the long, lance-like bill of a white stork jabs through the marsh grass and snatches up the singing frog. In an instant, the tireless music-maker becomes the dinner of a spy. White storks are master eavesdroppers. They rely on the songs of moor frogs to guide them when they’re hunting. The birds are so skillful that they can stealthily follow frog sounds to within two or three strides of an unsuspecting singer. Some spies can intercept signals sent by plants

and the top predator in the marine environment. “Spanish whalers called Orcas ‘whale killers’ after observing them hunt in packs, killing or overcoming marine mammals, including whales” (STW - Killer Whale).
