I can imagine that many people in Ahab's position would similarly want revenge on the being who inflicted so much pain ... http://enna24.edublogs.org/2008/09/18/entry-for-chapters-41-42/ Chapter 37 stood out to me tonight. Ahab was sitting in his cabin, looking out the windows at the sunset and to a bystander would have appeared to be normal and calm. But inside him there's a fire, a prophecy that says he'll get Moby-Dick back for taking his leg. ... http://enna24.edublogs.org/2008/09/17/entry-for-chapters-36-40/ I think we have officially entered the Twilight Zone, or rather Melville's Zone.

Ishmael is looking at it and talking about the craftsmanship of it and how antique-looking it is, and then says "An noble craft, but somehow a most melancholy! All noble things are touched with ... http://enna24.edublogs.org/2008/09/11/entry-for-chapters-16-20-reading/ At the beginning of Chapter 12, Ishmael is explaining where Queequeg came from, and says that his homeland of Kokovoko "is not down on any map, true places never are" (56). This quote jumped out at me, and made me wonder what he meant by it.
