Call me Ishmael

 




 

Call me Ishmael
I am the narrator; I am the central consciousness
I am the one who witnessed Pequod's destiny
I saw Ahab; his nature of insanity
He was running against time and fighting against reality
I touched the rational mind of first mate Starbuck
He became the emblem of resistance to unjust authority
I felt the conflict between man and his universe
It was a dramatic story filled with gaps
The story has nothing but alienation, rebellion, doubt, and doom
We were searching for something we could never find
Finally, we all realized Moby Dick was an impersonal life force
