While reading Moby Dick I realized that it falls within a Shakespearean Tragedy in many different ways. A Shakespearean Tragedy focuses on a central “hero” and his or her own hardships and personal endeavors, while also allowing for underlying morals open to interpretation by the reader. The conflict of the story also rests within the hero as he or she pursues their interests, meaning the hero will pursue something whether it is harmful to them and others or not, they are driven from within to accomplish a task that nags them into actively pursuing it. The hero in Moby Dick is Ahab, as a Shakespearean Tragedy suggests, heroes hold significant power or nobility and in this case it is the power of being captain of the Pequod and his relentless pursuit from within, a constant drive to seek revenge on Moby Dick to avenge the loss of his leg. Even under duress and the reluctance of Starbuck to continue pursuing Moby Dick because of the danger to the other shipmates, did not stop Ahab’s ignorance in pursuing Moby Dick. Ahab says it best when he states “to the last I grapple with thee, from hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.” (chapt. 135) He says this as Moby Dick drags him under the water and ultimately kills him. That quote sums up Ahab’s obsession with killing the whale that even if he died in the process at least he died valiantly revenging his one personal enemy relinquishing internal. A central hero (Ahab) with a goal or ambition to seek revenge that is so fierce that come hell and high water it will be accomplished, holding a position of power or nobility and in the end die by their own will and suffering directly relates to a Shakespearean Tragedy and all are experienced within the book Moby Dick.
