Abstract

Herman Melville crafts moby dick as a microcosm of American society in the pre-Civil War era. Melville's microcosm of society is often an allegorical and ironical society in that, while his characters speak to the state of the microcosm, their words have an implication on the state of the real world as well. In this way, Melville critiques the inadequacies of Christianity, as well as religions in general, for procuring truth and solace for its followers.
