Moby-Dick: almost 600 pages of solid torture, written only to drive innocent students to the brink of insanity by boredom. A "Monumental" masterpiece largely misunderstood, Yes it is that! It is much too huge to be read by the likes us; we who like to read what is there and not the underlying meaning. The underlying meaning needs to be there, if it wasn't Moby-Dick wouldn't be worth reading. So I ask myself, how much of this is my professor making up?
unfortunately I do not think he is making up a lot. His points have forced me to read slowly and every know and then I understand what he is saying.
By the way, who ever said this story was about a White Whale? I have almost finished the book and still no white whale.
