摘要

Moby Dick is a retrospective novel about life at sea as well as a vast philosophical allegory of life in general.The novel begins with a famous statement"Call me Ishmael".The identity of Ishmael is analyzed,revealing that he functions not only as an indispensable narrator,but as an actor—a sailor on the Pequod,and psychologically a religious wonderer and a truth seeker.
