Attacking the ship, Moby Dick damages and sinks the Pequod killing everyone but Ishmael. With this coffin, Ishmael is able to survive until he is rescued. Ahab dies along with the rest of the crew, dragged down by the whale into the sea. Melville presents Moby Dick and his whiteness as a symbol of many things, among them God, nature, fate, evil, the ocean, and the very universe itself.
Yet the symbolism of the White Whale is deliberately enigmatic, and its inscrutability is a deliberate challenge to the reader. When Moby Dick is eventually sighted, a disastrous three-day chase begins.
Entangled by the line of his own harpoon, Ahab falls overboard and drowns as the whale dives and takes him along. What finally happens to Captain Ahab? He is caught in a harpoon rope and dragged underwater by Moby-Dick.
Moby-Dick rams the Pequod. Moby-Dick drags Ahab to the bottom of the ocean. It was finally killed by a combined force of members from the Emilia, Crusch, and Anastasia Camps, with Wilhelm dealing the final blow to avenge his wife. He has gray hair, a scorched face, and a giant scar running down his face and torso.
Captain Ahab is insane. Ishmael describes him as crazy and evil personified. At one point in the novel, he meets another whaling captain who also lost a limb to the whale Moby-Dick. Why is vetinari a woman? How does SCP kill? But luckily for us, whales are generally not that interested in humans. If you are going to worry about anything eating you in the water, it should probably be sharks. For the most part, whales are not able to swallow people. In fact, most whale species have throats that are far too small to be able to swallow an adult, so they wouldn't be able to swallow a person if they tried.
Late in Moby-Dick, Queequeg becomes very sick with a fever and is certain he will die. However, Queequeg ends up recovering , so he uses his coffin for a chest for his possessions.
Queequeg, fictional character, a tattooed South Sea Islander and onetime cannibal who is a harpooner aboard the ship Pequod, in the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville. Does ahab want revenge? Asked by: Dr. Aliyah O'Hara PhD. What is Captain ahabs tragic flaw? Why does Ahab hate the whale? What is Ahab's biggest flaw? What is Ishmael trying to say about the sea? Was Ishmael swallowed by a whale?
Who saved Ishmael at the end? Why was Jonah swallowed by a whale? Why is Ishmael the only survivor? Why does Ishmael go to sea? Why is Call Me Ishmael so famous? To deny that multiplicity, to crush it all down into a binary opposition, as Ahab attempts, is to risk wrecking yourself.
At last, even Ahab cannot maintain his extremist position. As the book nears its conclusion, more and more doubt burrows into his soliloquies.
Instead, he wonders if he has any control at all over his own actions. But instead he abdicates responsibility for his actions by invoking fate as the force that drives him on: the ship will not turn for home. The Ahab that wins out, then, is the Ahab of the night described in The Candles, when he waves a burning harpoon above the heads of his crew.
