Moby Dick As A Begnin Hero

            Though Ishmael may have come up with many different reasons for why white .
             foretells sinister events in his pseudo intellectual ramblings, white still represents purity and goodness. This being the case, it makes sense for Moby Dick to be white. After all, what other attributes would a good intentioned liberator have? Though Ahab and his co-conspiriters had a good smear campaign that almost succeeded in totally ruining his reputation, a few people still recognized old Moby Dick for the hero he was. .
             Why was that old maniacal geezer Ahab so upset about his leg? He's lucky Moby Dick didn't kill him outright! After all, Ahab was trying to kill the poor whale and all he did was defend himself. It's a straight, cut and dry case of self-defense. Really, this guy must have some serious psychological issues to turn a simple act of self-defense into some sort of spiritual (and apparently mental) castration. His monomaniacal poor me rantings get old fast. When Ahab met the captain of the Samuel Enderby, he should have realized how a sane person would have dealt with an accidental wound. The extent of his monomania should have become clear. Alas, he did not realize his folly and continued in his fanatical search for the saint like Moby Dick. .
             Moby Dick was an exceptionally intelligent whale. He was neither physically nor mentally similar to his non white whale counterparts. He had realized early on the plight of his species and set out to do something about it. He swam alone around the world protecting his brothers and sisters. The human perpetuated senseless and needless slaughter of his friends appalled him. He swam from battleground to battleground with a message of peace. Unfortunately the humans were driven my something called money and this blocked out any sensible reasoning Moby Dick tried to get through their small yet think skulls. The continuing genocide turned his feelings from shock and horror to anger and vengeance.
