Second, the navigation itself, the symbolism of the nautical

Third, the symbolism of the white whale Mobidike 1. the white whale is a huge symbol of the capitalist mode of production
novel is the most symbolic white whale Mobidike . Its symbolic meaning
multiple levels. Western critics that it is the embodiment of evil. Indeed, in
novel Moby Dick is portrayed as a devastating, hostile to human and
mysterious and difficult thing to conquer. However, this evil is not entirely formal.
As a result we see that Melville often whaling in the novel as a process to
description. Therefore, to some extent, this white whale is a symbol of the TV drama can be a huge capital
the capitalist mode of production, a symbol of the production process and productivity as opposed to the kind of power.

2. the white whale is the symbol of natural
For Melville, the white whale is also a symbol of great power

novel describes a Mingjiao Ai Harper's whaling captain, led the crew to hunt down one called Moby. Dick the white whale. Finally, both sides suffer, its crew were killed, and only the crew Ishmael survived to tell us about this tragic story.
It also has several different meanings. It is an exciting adventure novel hunting the white whale. More importantly, it describes a person but to compete with nature and destiny of the nightmare. It is designed to show that, though you can observe the world, or actually have some impact on the world power, but, fundamentally speaking, he can not control or conquer nature. Who is not bold to suicidal, nature would be happy to let him live in peace.
For In his writing,
Melville authors in their works, the Bible and Shakespeare in particular. In Moby Dick, for example, there are many allusions to classical myths. Therefore, Moby Dick is regarded as the first American prose epic, a Shakespearean tragedy of man fighting against overwhelming odds in an indifferent and even hostile world. The literary quality of Melville Some of his language is old-fashioned manifesting Elizabethan influence. He did so purposely to raise the importance of the sub-ject that he was discussing.
(2) There is a threefold quality in his writing: the style of fact, the style of oratory celebrating the fact, and the style of meditation. Melville was influenced by popular American oratory,UGGs, known as the Lyceum movement in the 1830s, 1840s, and 1850s. Melville himself gave such public lec-tures sometimes. Therefore , he wrote as if he were giving a public speech.
(3) His style is highly symbolic and metaphorical. In this respect he was like Nathaniel Hawthorne. Moby Dick is a tragic epic, a romance of moral inquiry about the nature of good and evil, and about the power of will to defy fate. It is a naturalistic story of whale-hunting, yet metaphorical and symbolic. The ship on the ocean is a symbol of the whole world with people of ev- ery land sailing across the waters of life in quest of its mystery. The voyage is a metaphor for search and discovery. The ship is one of the American soul. The ship is also a microcosm of American so-ciety. It contains representatives of most social and ethnic groups, and their various reactions to the chase. Moby Dick itself represents the mystery of the universe.
(4) This hook has many non-narrative chapters, and this is how Melville changed an adventure story into a philosophical novel. Many chapters in the hook have nothing to do with >
(5) He used the technique of multiple views to achieve the effect of ambiguity.
was cold and then came time to reproduce the great works of splendor is not uncommon in literary history. American romantic novelist Herman Melville (1819-1891) masterpiece, a new perspective to re-examine it, this epic masterpiece of literature as jewelry buried in the tomb brought to light, shine ever brighter light. Now it has become recognized as the world's great literary masterpiece, known as mirror of the times material progress of the historical background, the artistic perspective of the difficult stretch of the dangers, huge financial resources whaling industry to depressed Guiqi about strokes under the command of Captain Ahab, the adventures of whom die in the ocean. in connection with the mutual mapping in real life, of things in the apartment management in the hands of profound meaning, or talk about history, about religion, or like nature, philosophy, chat in the profound philosophy of transmission, level of life revealed in Syria essence, not only for sailing, whales, whaling for scientific research provided a wealth of material, and demonstrates the writer of the fate of human civilization and the unique reflection. No wonder this seemingly haphazard, loosely structured to be known as the masterpiece is insignificant forms of name: travel, sailing stories, fables, legends whaling, the whales and whaling industry, encyclopedia, national epic, Shakespearean tragedy, lyric prose poem, romantic style of Cervantes Novel ... ... It is like a maze of deep magic of art, showing numerous multi-dimensional splendor, openness, and derivative, with lasting artistic value of the endless digging.
one, multiple symbolic meaning of the compound
< br> philosophical, social, religious and other issues of profound thinking.
land and sea is a pair of opposite and complementary novel, intrinsic wealth of symbols. the one hand, a symbol of ease on land, marine symbol of sinister; represents the closed self-sufficient land, sea represents adventure knowledge. From another point of view, makes the loss of land also symbolizes the spiritual life of human civilization, and marine pollution is on behalf of human civilization were not the original Civilization reserves. with this matched, can travel a symbol of maritime exploration and discovery process but also a symbol of the soul's spiritual journey back to nature.
moral of the daily pleasures of real life, to reveal the meaning of the different characters of the character and mentality. When Ishmael and Quebec Quebec share the same cell, when a pipe, not only that they were in the enjoyment of life, and they have formed a symbolic the To abandon the pleasure, determined to hunt the white whale.
a leaf Ark; symbol of Christianity on the other >
However, the novel is more complex and subtle symbol of hidden still mainly in the white whale and Captain Ahab Mobidike image of who the two. For both the interpretation of symbolic meaning, the key to understanding the novel .
quiet, sometimes brutal sea monster of terror; mad Buddha taught Bailey to it as the incarnation of God earthquake; the eyes of Ahab, evil with the truth, all the people burnt things, all thoughts about life, mysterious and magical spirits heresy, and all the evil, etc., are Mobidike De obvious incarnation. difficult to conquer the enemy and must be destroyed. but Ishmael, the noble peace on behalf of both the white whale, also on behalf of the terrorist death, it is the opposite of all the universe, the combination of contradictions, a symbol of the universe and the mysteries of ho wide, God's boundless divine power, fate and future of mankind, it is important to give Ishmael enlightenment is not simply to destroy, but to improve the understanding, the tireless pursuit of truth.
from the social and political point of view, huge white whale symbolizes the capitalist productivity. Many critics think that this is not to be understood in the mammoth whales but infinitely powerful, in fact, of the great development of productive forces of capitalism but live in fear of the real confused psychological reflection, also expressed in changes of the era of the human sense of destiny.
Captain Ahab is also a contradiction with multiple personalities. He violated the Christian on the to fighting the evil of their courage to challenge fate, against the gods, he is a symbol of human resistance hero. On the other hand, he is also a persistent determination to explore the mysteries of the Warriors universe, although with a tenacious and fearless courage and bravery and combat skills capacity, but the end result of ignoring the inherent laws of nature, but in vain to become a power struggle with the victim of the universe. can be seen as embodied in Ahab him good and evil, beauty and ugliness phase were both victimizers and victims of multiple meanings, the symbolism inherent in the image of the white whale is complex and deep, difficult to grasp. Readers definitely hard to find, the only correct conclusion, the novel does not demonstrate the significance of all these different conclusions may correct, but requires the reader from his own experience and thinking to judge, as critic CK Shearer Vegas (CkHillegass) said: implication.
two variations of multiple topics
religions of the world, and the potential exhibited the influence of the philosophy of the world is full of metaphors. Here both the struggle of people were magnificent whale art scene depicted, but also the objective of the Whaling Tiaofenlvxi about science, more on the and feelings of changing complex features. Just as the contemporary American literary critic Henri Howard said: there are many kinds of meaning. Hard together to give this book a precise, orthodox, authoritative meaning, it means destroying the living book, persistence, also destroyed the excitement it brings readers ... ... Revenge is an ancient world literature Motif. . Since then, he was full of white whales, deep-seated hatred, desire for revenge swallowed each of his cell, he set sail and the whole rest of his life only goal is to vow to kill Mobidike. full of hatred made him the most lonely autistic person. in retaliation for the white whale, he will not listen sensible advice, completely his own complete loss of reason and humanity, as reported at their own personal enmity to harm others. he has always stubbornly believe that their will is the only law in the world exists for him, and the world for his sacrifice. have determined to do; and I am determined to do, I do! them when I go crazy ... ... but, I was the devil, I'm crazy mad add! ... ... I predict that I have to dismember dismember me guy. voyage. In this sense, the tragedy of Ahab caused mainly due to the extreme by the self-expansion of revenge, his soul is too independent and difficult to be saved, it would become a victim of solipsism.
revenge than one whale The story, the novel in the fifty-fourth chapter, With the power to harm the first mate sailor, sailors are allowed to leak to sink the ship do not want to cooperate, to wait for an opportunity to vent their anger. in the pursuit of Moby Dick the end result of both a critical time could not obscure the hatred of friendship and cooperation, resulting in Moby Dick run away, mates lost their lives on the mouth of the white whale. This episode seems to imply that, revenge is the inherent evil of human nature, if allowed to fight this vindictive wanton expansion will lead to madness or even death of human misery.
closely related with the theme of revenge is more realistic relationship between man and nature themes. Captain Ahab and the white whale as a pair of sharp contradictions in behalf of mankind and nature of violent conflict. Captain Ahab exterminate white whales process is the process of the human conquest of nature, a concentration, is many times the two sides in a deadly struggle. Although infiltration of human intelligence ship power, but one whale encounters Liangbaijuwang tragedy is that as human beings and nature can not beat each other, both stubborn confrontation will only bring disastrous consequences. s the last return to the quiet sea, or a human and other species to live together during the world seems to remind people: with God's other masterpiece is the harmonious coexistence of human beings continue to exist in the only way out of this world, this idea even in today's modern society, hold high the banner of environmental protection still has a wide range of alerts significance.
mid-nineteenth century literature, a common theme of to isolate dangerous sea, the surface of motivation from revenge to kill the white whale, but in reality is to regain self-seeking spirit of peace and freedom; crew Ishmael himself to the sea to ward off anger, regulate blood circulation In fact, in order to escape the boredom of living conditions and thoughts of suicide, to regain the true meaning of life; the other crew members, or for a living force, or to escape the merciless fate, or to change the environment, in short, is to escape that can not be bring them joy and happiness of the land fascinated the world to seek the ideal world. In their eyes, the land around the machines of modern industrial civilization and chimneys, full of confusion and under pressure to survive helpless, imprisoned in a wall of materialism People are losing in the pursuit of absolute truth of your spirit, are increasingly losing the depth of spiritual life; and in a boundless sea, whether calm or storm, the sea always stirred the human imagination and the unlimited accumulation of the original vitality of the body, really at sea, when ye have found, as their vision of the ideal it? from , a plant floating in the sea, with all the nineteenth century, the typical features of capitalist enterprises. where money, power above all else, whaling workers have to follow the orders of senior management at the mercy of the ship and the oppressed, the poor thing alone split as the go through fire and harvest. for the money, two or even dropped the crew struggling in the sea to hunt the whale of a hand, and peace of mind, no remorse, can not afford to lose. In Alabama, the money, but selling a whale to sell three times your money ... ... factory or on the battlefield. The crew had to go to sea to escape the modern civilization, but unfortunately became a victim of it.
, of course, the narrator Ishmael also revealed another perspective can not be ignored topic - love and friendship. unlike Captain Ahab's extreme self-isolation values of individualism, and Ishmael was deeply human interdependence is not escape reality. He longed for understanding and friendship, I believe that the human soul in the beauty and goodness, take the initiative benefits from the perspective of others, appreciate sincere friendship with the people, which is black and pagan Quebec Quebec he became a close confidant grid underlying causes.
