Features: The protagonist, Melville, is feeling very down with an empty wallet. At the inn, he meets the "Wild Man" harpooner Queequeg. At first sight, Melville is constantly on edge, fearing that this rather burly black man might harm him. Unexpectedly, Queequeg turns out to be a kind, friendly, and innocent person. The two, one black and one white, completely ignore others' critical glances and form a life-and-death bond. To take control of their lives and fill them with passion, they decide to go to Nantucket and become true whalers! They are hired by the "Pequod" and set sail. Captain Ahab has a mortal enemy—the white whale Moby Dick—and the primary goal of this whaling expedition is to put it to death to avenge "a leg." However, the white whale's strength cannot be underestimated, and both attempts to capture it end in failure.
