Реферат: Ahabs Evil Quest Melvilles Symbols In MobyDick

have destroyed the entire ship and its crew, save Ishmael who survived the encounter

(Arvin 217). On day three of Ahab?s hunt, the whale destroys the whaling boats and the

Pequod, thereby destroying those who seek to escape their human limitations and

question their divinely ordained fate. Melville?s allegories and symbolism ? Ahab

symbolizing men who feel wronged by God and Moby Dick symbolizing a vengeful God

who will destroy those who wish to destroy Him ? are woven into a timeless

masterpiece of exposition and are revealed through a vast array of symbols, hints, and

rantings.
