        <description><![CDATA[SymbolismCh. 42: The whiteness of the whale is symbolic.    &quot;It was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me.&quot; (ghostliness)&quot;The Albino is as well made as other men...and yet this mere aspect of all-pervading whiteness makes him more stangely hideous...&quot; &#160;&quot;...whiteness ...calls up a peculiar apparition to the soul.&quot;&quot;Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth heartless voids...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The name "Ishmael" is associated with being an outcast. Ishmael never truly gets involved in Abab's plan for revenge. He is also one of the few men to have a true friend on board the ship, Queequeg. His lack of involvement in the revenge plus his connection with another man saves his life.  It is Queequeg's coffin that he clings to until the Rachel, looking for the lost son of the captain, finds him. Since he is more of an observer than a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Captain Ahab's epic journey to find and destroy the white whale, called Moby-Dick by the crew of the Pequod, is fueled by maniacal obsession for vengeance after the whale destroyed Ahab's ship and chomped-off his leg.  The fight between Ahab and Moby represents a desire for revenge that becomes a unhealthy addiction, which, in turn, leads to an obsession that consumes him; the ultimate cost is his life, and the lives of those around him.Ahab...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The major conflict is Ahab's quest to destroy the whale, Moby Dick. This could be considered as man vs. nature or man vs. the unknown. Moby Dick represents evil incarnate to Ahab, the devil. Ahab is obsessed with killing the whale as its punishment for taking his leg. He's willing to risk his life and the lives of his crew to get his revenge. Starbuck, the first mate, tries to discourage Ahab from this suicidal voyage several times, but Ahab...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Starbuck thinks it is ludicrous to want to wreak revenge on &quot;a dumb brute...that simply smote (Ahab) from blindest instinct&quot;.  He means that the whale is not human, and in crippling Ahab did so with no malice in mind; it was just acting as a creature of its species naturally does.  To be angry at him and to seek revenge seem &quot;blashphemous&quot; to Starbuck, an act of madness. Ahab, however, does see &quot;insrcutable...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ahab is characterized as a larger-than-life character, one who is obsessed to madness with finding the &quot;white whale&quot; that struck out at him.  This obsession consumes his thoughts and clouds his judgment at times.  He is a tough, weathered man who is an excellent seaman, but his obsession is his downfall.  It ends up destroying him.  For more about Ahab, see the following link:http://www.enotes.com/mobydick/characters]]></description>
