Moby Dick rocks. this dude fuckin loves talkin abt whales
Racist? Yeah. Gay? Very yeah
It’s weird bc Melville has this proto-relativism thing happening here where he’s like “Yeah that scary brown dude is a savage pagan cannibal but who’s to say that’s wrong? Perhaps he sees my pristine Christian ways as equally savage. Are we not all God’s creations? His tribal ways are just as important to me as my civilized ways are to me, and who’s to say whose ways are better?”
Like dang dude you got real close to something surprisingly modern
Like was nobody gonna tell me about the homoeroticism in Moby Dick or was I just supposed to find that out for myself by reading Moby Dick
@focsle tried to tell us
