The reason I ask is that Led Zeppelin has a song called "Moby Dick" based on that American lit. Even back then on the album "Led Zeppelin II" never understood the song. Even today I do not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby_Dick_(instrumental)
Quote:"Moby Dick" is an instrumental and drum solo by English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. Named after the whale in the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, it was also known by the alternate titles "Pat's Delight" (early 1968–1969 version with completely different guitar riff) and "Over the Top" (with "Out on the Tiles" intro section and original closing reprise) during various points of the band's career.

"Moby Dick"

Last I heard, it was a fungal affliction of male genitalia.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

It's about obsession mostly. You could argue it's also about Ishmael's will to persevere.

Never read it due to classic literature being boring.
