My question is similar to Miriam's and Caitlin's. I wonder what Ahab is supposed to represent, although I think that ultimately it is many things. He seems main character of a Greek tragedy (his hamartia being his monomania), a disillusioned monomaniac set on vengeance, and also the man predestined to perdition. I wonder what role free will plays in this novel for Ahab, as he himself question's man free will. It seems to be that Ahab was destined for death (and hell?) by Moby Dick no matter what. His fate had already been woven.
