Chapter 123 "The Musket", Whoa! (No spoilers)
My first read of Moby-Dick was 50 years ago as a High School senior. Then it was a requirement. Now a choice. I remembered very little of the books details, however remember struggling. I admit in spite of all my life experience I still struggle.
I am pages away from the chase and then I hit "The Musket". Don't know why. I was Starbuck. I was holding the death-tube. The words embedded in my brain. Don't know what that says about me!
That same year in HS we read Crime and Punishment. I was Raskolnikov at times.
I say it was the genius of the author not any inherent brilliance on my part.
I am not a literary scholar at all. I enjoy a good yarn and recently want more from my reading. I have certainly found it.
Wondering what others feel about this chapter.
