the malicious captain

The Malicious Captain The personification of evil is seen in Captain Ahab. Through the adventure of Captain Ahab in his search of Moby Dick it describes the battle between the evil powers of the devil against the good powers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The devil is seen in Ahab and Jesus is seen in Moby Dick. The whole battle revolves around the voyage and crew of the Pequod. The tale begins with …

Moby Dick is a stirring tragedy of vengeance and obsession, a searing parable about the powers of good and evil. In this tale, Moby prevails against Ahab.
