"The absurd saves us, despite the tedium, from that state of soul that begins with the sweet fury of dreaming"

letter 1

Mes choix de livres ne servent pas du tout à diminuer l’angoisse avant les examens finales d’école.

things get worse before they get better

Castings:

Ishmael as the whale connoisseur,
Starbuck as the only voice of reason,
Stubb as an insanely happy man (to a delirious extent)
Ahab as the devil incarnate

the Ocean as the thing that forces them together.

Ahab’s madness is really coming out now; it feels like the book is picking up.

I’ve never been so drawn in by something that feels so tedious.
