Chapter 36-42
1. Does Melville’s use of stage directions and the insertion of a play in Chapter 40 come from the influence Shakespeare’s work had on him?
2. Starbuck questions Moby Dick’s involvement in the loss of Ahab’s leg to which Ahab replies “it was Moby Dick that dismasted me” (139). Is Ahab’s use of the word “dismasted” foreshadowing that Moby Dick will dismast the Pequod in the future?
