Moby-Dick references and ties are more pronounced in society than previously thought, whether it be from the characters or the whale. The writing style, era of publication, and the references to at the time relevant and related events helped Herman Melville foster one of the American classic books. Due, to the book being widely known this has allowed people and society to foster the beauty of the various characteristics of Moby-Dick to the present day. This has been found in a world-wide known business, Starbucks that seemed at first completely unrelated to the book. Three people influenced the name of the company: two teachers (in English and History) and a writer. Starbucks was almost called the name of the whaling ship in Moby-Dick, Pequod.
