“Moby-Dick; or, The Whale” by Herman Melville is an 1851 novel that takes us onto the Pequod whaling boat where we learn about sailing hardships, types of whales, philosophical reflections, madness, and group manipulation. While Gregory Peck became the archetypical Captain Ahab in a 1956 movie version, there have been at least twelve movies and mini-series based on the original story about a white whale that bit off Ahab’s leg. In each version, Ahab is fixated on tracking down to destroy his nemesis, a study in narcissism and anger.
