Cliffs Notes on Billy Budd & Typee
Forty years separate the writing of these books, and Melville's moral concerns are highly visible in "Billy Budd," in which a young sailor willingly accepts his punishment after accidentally killing an evil man. In "Typee," Melville romanticized his own adventures as a merchant seaman on a Polynesian island. "Typee" is generally considered nothing more than adventure and travel writing.
"Billy Budd" is open to interpretation and is considered a much more literary work than "Typee."
