Features: The protagonist Melville, with an empty wallet, is in a very low mood. At the inn, he meets the "Wild Man" harpooner Queequeg. At first sight, Melville is always on edge, fearing that this rather burly black man might be hostile to him. Unexpectedly, Queequeg is a kind, friendly, and innocent person. The two, one black and one white, completely ignore others' critical gazes 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," set sail. Captain Ahab has a sworn enemy—a 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.
