  3. Chapters 18 – 22 “ . . .the same ancient Catholic Church to which you and I, and Captain Peleg there, and Queequeg here, and all of us, and every mother’s son and soul of us belong; the great and everlasting First Congregation of this whole worshipping world; we all belong to that; only some of us cherish some queer crotchets noways touching the grand belief; in that we all join hands” (85).

  4. Queequeg’s “signature” Also part of his tattoos John Wallis credited with the creation of the symbol in 1655 Ancient cultures had the idea of infinity as a philosophy instead of a mathematical code

  5. The Prophet Elijah --Biblical: warned Ahab “but shabbily apparelled in faded jacket . . A confluent small-pox had in all directions flowed over his face, and left it like the complicated ribbed bed of a torrent, when the rushing waters have been dried up” (88).

  6. “Anything down there about your souls?” (89) --reference to the contract I & Q signed “When Captain Ahab is all right, then this left arm of mine will be all right, not before” (89). “What’s signed, is signed; and what’s to be, will be; and then again, perhaps it won’t be, after all” (90).

  7. We gave three heavy-hearted cheers, and blindly plunged like fate into the lone Atlantic (101).

  8. Moby-Dick, the film • Made in 1956 • The director shopped the film around for three years: no one in Hollywood wanted it because it was dark and depressing and contained no female characters (no love story) • Screenplay written by Ray Bradbury • Author of Fahrenheit 451 and various short stories—well known for his science fiction • Starring Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab • You may remember him as Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird • Many thought he was miscast in this role—see if you agree
