'''Moby Dick''' is a legendary sea monster made famous in the novel of the same name, although the beast is destructive, powerful, and wild, he is actually the secondary villain of the piece - with [[Captain Ahab]] serving as the primary (albeit tragic) villain. Despite this, multiple interpretations about Moby Dick's character have risen. Some believe him to merely be an animal acting out of sheer instinct, but Ahab and many whales think of him as a sentient, malevolent supernatural entity. |
