Description

Obsessed captain of the Pequod, consumed by his monomaniacal quest for vengeance against Moby Dick. In these final chapters, his madness intensifies as he forges a harpoon tempered in blood, destroys navigational instruments, and ultimately meets his doom in a three-day chase where he declares 'From hell’s heart I stab at thee.'
