Ahab… oh no… don’t do that to me don’t be a little meow meow

Uhm sorry I forget to update baby I have been sitting right at the storm for so long because i don’t want it to end (Ishmael moment)

Ishmael is the realest for just going “I’m going on a ramble now my source is: trust me on this I did something vaguely related to the subject at hand once so I know what I’m talking about.”

Same, bro.

Thank you, Ishmael, for inventing the “side-front” (“for what is it that makes the front, of a man - what, indeed, but his eyes?”)

The way Ishmael keeps pulling little details from chapters and gives them their own chapter in the next page, continuously finding a way to stall the narration is so cleverly done. Please explain more to me, sir.

How many guys did Ahab put in his room there? 🤨

“Now, in his heart, Ahab had some glimpse of this, namely: all my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.”

Some people struggle to put in a whole book what Melville just put in a single sentence. I’m in awe.

MR MELVILLE YOUR STYLISTIC CHOICES!!!

Mr. Ishmael, sir, I don’t think these whale facts are very correct…
