After the deposition, Delano brings back light and brightness to Cereno, whose distrust supersedes any of nature’s reassurance.

However, this is not true for Cereno who carries a shadow of doubt with him due to his embedded experience of an elaborate charade carried on by what he would see as nature’s dark side, African slaves.

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.

Captain Ahab’s inhumanity is described along the story, letting the reader discover Ahab’s reasons of his cruelty.
