This analysis of Moby-Dick questions the premise upon which thousands of pages of Melville studies are founded: namely, that Ishmael is a candid, reliable narrator capable of seeing, comprehending, and dispassionately rendering his story and its protagonist, Ahab. This reading demonstrates instead that Ishmael is unreliable, and that the narrative strategy of mesmerizing readers raises major questions about how clearly Melville could see Ahab, and whether the author was not himself dazzled and mesmerized by his creation. Discusses the narrator and protagonist in light of literature about narcissism, and examines the imagery of trance and seduction that permeates the novel. Author information is not given.
