... It is the presence of this phenomenon that prolongs the duration of the Pequod’s trip in the book Moby-Dick. ... Then, on page 136, Ahab commands Starbuck to send everybody on the crew aft. Starbuck complacently conforms to the captain’s demand. ... Starbuck very tactfully questions the motivation for the actions which Ahab is proposing to the crew. He asks Ahab why he believes the crew should deviate and, in turn, disobey the owners’ intent by chasing a very infamous white whale, Moby Dick, who coincidentally took Ahab’s leg. In foreshadowing the strong character of Starbuck, Melville establishes an essential balance. ... Starbuck, on the other hand, is one of his first mates, and is not as seasoned as the captain.
