Description

The chief mate Starbuck is the moral conscience of the Pequod, torn between duty and horror at Ahab’s madness. In these final chapters, he pleads with Ahab to turn back, witnesses the inversion of the compass, and nearly murders him in a moment of desperation. He is the last voice of reason, ultimately powerless against the captain’s will, and perishes with the ship.
