Description

The Bachelor is a Nantucket whaling ship, full of oil and joy, returning home after a successful voyage. Its encounter with the Pequod highlights the contrast between Ahab’s doom-laden obsession and the ordinary happiness of successful whalers. The Bachelor’s jolly crew and overflowing casks of oil mock Ahab’s grim purpose, deepening his isolation.
