Leaving Manhatto, he traveled to the seaport town of New Bedford to seek out work on a whaler. Ishmael's first night in New Bedford was spent in the crusty Spouter Inn near the water_ front. There he found the only bed available which, by necessity, he consented to share with an unknown harpooner. His roommate turned out to be a bizarre fellow indeed, a hardened South-sea islander whose body was covered with tattoos. But after Ishmael's initial fear had subsided, he found this "strange bedfellow," Queequeg, to be quite friendly. The huge man offered to share his small fortune and an embalmed human head with Ishmael. "At first I knew not what to make of this," Ishmael said, "but soon an inkling of the truth occurred to me. I remembered a story of a white man - a whaleman too - who, falling among cannibals, had been tattooed by them. I concluded that this harpooner, in the course of his distant voy_ ages, must have met with a similar adventure. And what is it, thought 1, after all! It's only his outside; a man can be honest in any sort of skin."

But he no longer believed that he could find it. The powerful would always prevail, using whatever they could to further their own interests and to conceal the homoerotic bonds that threaten to implicate them as well. Although almost forgotten by the end of his life, Melville enjoyed a considerable revival beginning in the 1920s. He was appreciated by many gay readers, including E. M. Forster, who wrote the libretto for Britten's Billy Budd (1951), and William Plomer, who wrote introductions to British editions of Billy Budd, Redburn , and White-Jacket . Hart Crane was one of Melville's early admirers and wrote "At Melville's Tomb" (1925). Sponsor Message. Melville's status as husband and father probably delayed wider recognition of his homosexuality, but more recently critics have come to recognize the unmistakable evidence of the texts.

Melville was born in New York City to a prosperous and distinguished family. In 1830, his father's bankruptcy and subsequent madness brought a radical alteration in the young man's life. The sense of a patrician past, of a dark secret, and of a radical loss of social status remained with him forever. Although Maria Melville's family aided their now poor relations, further disasters followed quickly. Sponsor Message. Herman Melville thus became the impoverished but genteel man who is sent off to sea, a career for which he had in no way been prepared. In 1839, after his brother's bankruptcy, Herman shipped to Liverpool as a cabin boy, an experience that is recorded in his novel Redburn After his return, and a trip west, Melville sailed on a whaling ship in the South Seas, where he jumped ship in the Marquesas (an experience that inspired

Moby Dick, or The Whale Amazon.com Top 100 Books of the Millenium (29) Author Info: Herman Melville Ah, God! what trances of torments does that man endure who is consumed with one unachieved revengeful desire. -Herman Melville Moby Dick Perhaps no other great book suffers to the degree that Melville's classic does from the tendency to abridge the Great Books for easy consumption by High School students. Sure, when you read it, in 10th grade or whenever, you get that essential tale of Ahab's monomaniacal pursuit of the White Whale, but you don't get much of the fascinating detail of the whaling industry nor much of the symbolism that makes the book one that rewards repeated readings. In fact, Melville's fiction is so densely packed with symbolism and allusions that it's sometimes hard to believe that he has any central message. This is particularly noticeable in the great short story Bartleby, the Scrivener . One finishes the story with no idea whatsoever why Bartleby has stopped working and given up on life, but the story is so open that you can give it any number of meanings and argue them all plausibly. Moby Dick is similarly amenable to many different interpretations. After initially being understood as a tale of the struggle against evil, it is now taken, mainly in the academy, to be an indictment of capitalism and industrialization. Personally, I like to think of it as a joyous answer to the dour Existentialists, with their insistence that life is meaningless drudgery. It is a curious thing that we should so admire men like Ahab, clearly grown demented in his pursuit of Moby Dick, or even a character like Don Quixote, whose immersion in the fiction of chivalry has obviously left him brain-addled. What is it we find so compelling in such figures ? I think it is their unalterable sense of purpose, however deranged. What after all is Existentialism but an expression of the desire that they too were guided by such a singular vision of the purpose of life ?

Sadly, Olson's ideas did not appeal to members of the elite Melville Society, and to this day they still consider him a "crank."

The fit between Melville's characters and Jungian character types and archetypes is clear and clean, never forced. Generous quotes from the novel illustrate Edinger's points.
