Chapter (10-16)
1.- In Page 55
the last sentence says, “I concluded that, Like the dyspeptic old woman, he
must have ‘broken his digesters’ ”. What does it mean by “broken his digesters”
what was Melville trying to say with this phrase?
2.- In page 74
at the top it says, “For all men tragically great are made so through a certain
morbidness. Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but
disease. But, as yet have not to do with
such an one, but with quite another; and still a man who, if indeed peculiar,
it only results again from another phase of the Quaker modified by individual
circumstances.” How is his paragraph describing the Nantucket men?
