Essay / Research Paper Abstract
Captain Vere, the pivotal character who determines the fate of the title character in Melville's Billy Budd, appears at the onset to be a man conflicted. Vere has a strong sense of duty and his personality appears to be defined by his notion of compliance with his role as Captain and the conflict that occurs because of he must apply the law to the actions of the innocent Budd. But there is also an alternative perspective on the nature of Vere, including the belief that Vere represents a character driven by motives that have defined his psychosis, and that this is the real reason that he directs Budd's execution. This 8 page paper provides a psychoanalytical perspective on the nature of Vere's conflicting personality and his corresponding behaviors. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
