  • Humanity And Inhumanity In Herman Melville's Moby Dick

    747 Words  | 3 Pages

    Herman Melville can be considered one of the most important writers of the American Romance. His masterpiece, Moby Dick, tells the reader the story of Ishmael, an isolated sailor whose only escape is the sea, his one and only consolation. Ishmael joins the Pequod, a whaling ship captained by Ahab, an obscure and sick old sea wolf obsessed with the haunting of Moby Dick, a white sperm whale which ripped his leg out, leaving in his mind a deep revenge desire. In this paper I illustrate the description of the captain Ahab’s inhumanity and cruelty, as well as Ishmael’s desire of being in contact with the sea, seen as a way of escaping from the world he lives in.

  • Summary Of Benito Cerreno

    1076 Words  | 5 Pages

    Herman Melville’s story Benito Cereno creates controversial arguments and moral questions. First published in 1855, the story tells of an American captain, Amasa Delano, attempting to assist an apparently broken-down ship called the San Dominick. Initially, the ship’s leader, the namesake of the story, appears as this weak leader that cannot control the conflict among the slaves and sailors. As Delano further discovers the ship and doubts Cereno’s motives, the readers are almost brought to believe that Cereno tricked Delano into a piracy stunt. However, the story takes quite a twist when Delano attempts to return to his own ship and Cereno launches himself overboard while his “loyal slave” Babo foes after him.
