This novel summarized very briefly as the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, ordered by Captain Ahab in the search of whales and especially the enormous white whale, which gives the title to the novel. However in, Moby Dick is much more of the whaling scenes are punctuated by religious religious, philosophical and artistic character of Ishmael, the writer's alter ego, making the trip at the same time.
"It is the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he had a great secret in him"
"Call me Ishmael," the narrator starts, in one of the most recognizable opening lines in American literature.
The story begins with the narrator, Ishmael, pondering why a life at sea attracts men so much He explains that he is one of them, and wishes to live a life at sea as a whaler.
Ishmael leaves for New Bedford, where at an inn, meets Queequeg. The two share a goal of being a whaler, and quickly befriend each other as they leave for Nantucket. The two find themselves on the Pequod, a whaling vessel owned by the madman Ahab. The nature of the crew members is unsheathed during this time. Ahab announces the voyages of purpose, to kill Moby Dick, and reward who has done so with a gold dubloon. A few men are killed on the way to the Moby Dick, an omen of the ship. Some whales are caught and used, aside from the trip's purpose. Starbuck continues to protest Ahab's ill-fated journey.
The White Whale is spotted, and the game is on Many harpoons are buried in Moby Dick, just like dozens have already Many crew members fall into the freezing sea Moby Dick is not killed, but the same can not be said for Ahab, who was hit by a harpoon and drowned in the ocean. Everyone aboard the Pequod, sunk to Davy Jones' Locker The survivors of the fight were Moby Dick and Ishmael.
So, we can conclude that throughout the novel, the story can get suspenseful, and even depressing as they go on their journey through the sea.
