2.DEPICTION OF FREQUENT LITERARY DEVICES IN AMERICAN LITERATURE
1.Ishmael: Ishmael is the narrator and protagonist of Moby Dick. He narrates the death of all others except himself. He talks about other significant characters like Queen and Captain Ahab, keeping himself behind them to save himself during the whale hunting expeditions. His desire for marine life shows him the way to the seas where he boards the Pequod with the assistance of Queen eg, and then meets Captain Ahab, who is obsessed with the idea of hunting Moby Dick despite receiving highly disturbing and horrifying premonitions and news of accidents. He sees others dying and battling Moby Dick that tears apart the lives of all the harpooners, hunters, and whale catchers, leaving him alone to tell the tale.
2.Captain Ahab: Captain Ahab, supervises the Pequod crew with his vast experience and grey hair, signifying his superiority in age. With more than forty years of sailing experience and a family man, he holds an obsession over Moby Dick, a terrifying whale. He vows to hunt it down, despite the fact that it had disabled him during the earlier hunt. In one way, his portrait reflects impulsive human tendencies of exacting revenge and retaliating even at the cost of one’s life, abandoning the rationality of surviving against the odds. His claims of having godly powers become his final hubris, taking his life when fighting against the same sperm whale he has vowed earlier to kill.
3.Starbuck: A thin and gaunt fellow, Starbuck is chief of the ship, the Pequod. His gaunt physique also demonstrates his penchant for trimmed suits and his behavior, having some tinge of condescension toward the naïve or inexperienced sailors. His uncertainty between his rationality and idealist nature forces him to come against Ahab, believing that his suicidal decision of chasing the deadly Moby Dick would cost the entire crew dearly. Despite this, he remains loyal.
4.Queequeg: Queequeg holds excellent skill of harpooning the whales and is natural in cultivating relations with different people. When he sees Ishmael’s passion for whaling, he immediately takes him to the relevant quarters and familiarizes him with the concerned professionals. His visit to the Spouter-Inn and his journey to Nantucket shows his skillful career, yet he is somewhat ancient and savage in his nature despite having a strong sense of mannerism. Queequeg’s dynamism stays with him until the end of the novel.
5.Stubb: Stubb is a happy-go-lucky person, as he doesn’t care about the ravages of Moby Dick and urges his mates to continue the course through his laughable quibbles. He tries to avoid wrath from his fellow mates and makes them smile with his humor. Despite these easygoing mannerisms, his professionalism in whaling is at a higher level as he harpoons the first whale when on the Pequod.
6.Flask: Although Flask is quite ahead in the hierarchy of characters on the Pequod, his unsatiated appetite for whale hunting makes him an excellent character to stay with the captain and Ishmael.
7.Pippin: Young Pippin is useful, resourceful, and can-do attitude on the Pequod. He has some close shaves during the whaling. Sadly, after a while, he becomes insane when others do not care much about his death or life.
8.Fedallah: Fedallah is an oriental mystery and has ghostly features that make him even more enigmatic on the Pequod. His predictive abilities make him a much sought-after fellow, yet he becomes the victim of his own wrong prophecies.
9.Father Mapple: Father Mapple is known for his religious performance, sincerity, and holiness embedded in his sermons. His sermons inspire Ishmael to start his whaling career.
