Whales on LSD
Herman Melville's epic, The White Whale, is a text ripe for deconstruction. Beyond the surface tale of obsession and revenge lurks the raw power of the subconscious. Read through the lens of copyright experience, and the Pequod's voyage becomes a hallucinatory odyssey. Captain Ahab, driven by his monomania, embodies the mad prophet, consumed by visions that blur the line between reality. The whale itself, Moby Dick, becomes a manifestation of Ahab's trauma, a leviathan whose presence ripples through the very fabric of the narrative.
