One thing that doesn't come up about #MobyDick in mainstream discourse is what a bullshit artist/tall tale yarn spinner Ishmael is presented as.

I am actually for Ishmael's weird tangents on whaling trivia because they break up some of the more brutal and intense sequences. #MobyDick

One of my thoughts reading #MobyDick and Heart of Darkness is that insistence these books are "symbolic" is just a way to deny the authors are discussing the real and horrible things they saw.

Chapter 82 of Moby Dick, "The Honor and Glory of Whaling" The preceding chapter was about the horrible and pointless murder of an old whale with only one fin.
Can a chapter heading be sarcastic? #MobyDick

A merch company I have often purchased from posted a fine art print described as “Moby Dick,” (hyphen ommitted) yet it is a depiction of a humpback whale rather than a sperm whale. Yes kids, this is what happens when you try to flex about classic lit w/o reading the book. #BookSky #smh #MobyDick

Today's #MobyDick quote 🧵:
Closing the door upon the landlady, I endeavoured to prevail upon Queequeg to take a chair; but in vain. There he sat; and all he could do—for all my polite arts and blandishments—he would not move a peg, not say a single...

Me acabo de enterar gracias a un amigo que Moby (que se llama Richard Melville Hall) es tataratataranieto de Herman Melville y que se puso su nombre artístico por la novela "Moby Dick" de su tataratatarabuelo. 🤔 #Moby #HermanMelville #MobyDick

Pink flower petals on gray asphalt, overlaid with the shadow of a leafless tree.
Today's #MobyDick quote 🧵:

While I love #MobyDick I read that first clause and finished the sentence in my head 'don't fear for me, fear for the storm.'

A child's doodle of a cartoon cat with its eyes bulging out with love.
Today's #MobyDick quote 🧵:
Unconsciously clapping the vinegar-cruet to one side of her nose, she ruminated for an instant; then exclaimed—"No! I haven't seen it since I put it there." Running to a little closet under the landing of the stairs, she glanced in...

A tin of tea; the tin is black and the label is yellow. The label reads: Thé Mariage Frères; Marco Polo marvellous fruity and flowery black tea.
Today's #MobyDick quote 🧵:
"Queequeg!—Queequeg!"—all still. Something must have happened. Apoplexy! I tired to burst open the door; but it stubbornly resisted. Running down stairs, I quickly stated my suspicions to the first person I met—the chambermaid. ...
