Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page analysis of Melville's story, focusing on the denial and rationalization abilities of Captain Delano. The story ultimately is the illustration of the unthinking prejudice of race based on a lack of understanding, and the author makes his points against the backdrop of mental instability and lack of mental wholeness. To the charges of Melville's day that the black race was somehow intellectually inferior so that the white race could continue their rationalization for enslaving a segment of their human brothers, Melville takes the less-than-sane notion and uses the backdrop of lack of awareness to magnify the ultimate futility and irrationality in adhering to such views. No additional sources cited.
