Moby Dick A tremendous chronicle of a whaling voyage in pursuit of a seemingly supernatural white whale.

The outline of Moby Dick The opening line, "Call me Ishmael," is one of the most recognizable opening lines in Western literature. Ishmael then narrates the voyage of the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ahab has one purpose: revenge on Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee.IshmaelwhaleshipPequod white whale

Writing features Romanticism Realism Symbolism

Symbolism in Moby Dick 1.The white whale: gliding great demon of the seas life (evil with great power); purity, innocence, and youth. 2. The Pequod: the ship of American soul. 3.The endeavor of the crew: the maniacal fanaticism of the white mental consciousness

The conclusion The detailed and realistic descriptions of whale hunting and the process of extracting whale oil, as well as life aboard ship among culturally diverse crew, are mixed with exploration of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God.
