Moby Dick

Brief Introduction

The novel, Moby Dick, was written by Herman Melville, an American writer. The book I read was published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research in 2004. The book contains 286 pages.

Main Contents

Ishmael was the only surviver in that wreck. The story was told by him. Ishmael worked as a schoolmaster, but sometimes he liked to adventure. Whenever he felt a little down from life, he would stop his work and head for the sea that brought back and restored his spirit. This time he decided to go aboard a whaling ship. In a hotel he met with Queequeg, a harpooner. Later on they became closed friends. Ishmael and Queequeg reached the Pequod. Captain Peleg was one of the two owners of the Pequod. Another was Captain Ahab. Actually Ahab was the captain of this ship.

A white whale, Moby Dick often killed people and he ate Captain Ahab’s leg. He had promised he would chase him round the Cape of Good Hope and round Cape Horn and round the flames of Hell before He gave up. He had signed the men aboard his ship to chase that White Whale over all sides of the earth until he coughed black blood and rolled over. During the sea travel, they also killed many whales but Ahab still insisted to kill Moby Dick. Ahab looked after the trail of the White Whale. In the first day of hunting Moby Dick they had a fierce fighting with Moby Dick. Fedallah disappeared.On the second day’s chase, all the crew except Ishmael were dead. It was Queequeg’s coffin life saver that saved him. Finally Ahab did not kill Moby Dick. Excellent episode

1.I worked as a schoolmaster, but sometimes I would feel that I needed a bit of change. So, whenever I felt a little down from life, I would stop my work and head for the sea. There was something about the sea that brought back and restored my spirit, my drive in life. For this I could always count on the sea.

2.No, my way of escaping the reality of my hometown of Manhattan, New York, was going to sea as a plain, ordinary seaman. I liked the exercise of being a seaman. Most

importantly, I was able to travel to far-away places and experience things that I would never experience if I stayed in my hometown.

3.Floating all alone at sea, I had much to think about. I thought of Ahab going after his goal even thought it meant death, and of the White Whale’s answer of revenge. The memory of Queequeg’s kindness protected and kept my spirits alive, just as his coffin chest now kept my body above the sea.

Reflection

When I am reading the fighting between the crew and whale,especially the White Whale, I feel I am one of them. After reading the novel I want to talk about it from different sides.

Ishmael was a schoolmaster but he liked to adventure. If his life was smooth, he would feel bored. He liked to head for the sea. There was something about the sea that could bring back and restore his spirit, his drive in life. Today we are in a comfortable society and we enjoy the comfort. We live without passion.However, we lost our soul. We do something against morality. Our material life is rich but we are lacking morality. Society is full of coldness and we cannot smile at the strange. We lost the nature of human beings. I believe we don’t want to live in such society, so we should do something meaningful to improve ourselves and make our society full of warm. Many people who have read the novel admire Captain Ahab for his perseverance. He had a great aim to kill the White Whale.They think the White Whale was the symbol of the devil and Ahab was the symbol of justice. However, I have the different idea. I think Captain Ahab was selfish. For the revenge for his leg, he didn’t care about others’ lives. Many people were dead for his selfishness. Many people think Captain Ahab was the great man who wined over the nature and who didn’t believe in the God. Actually I think he is a killer of the nature. He was rude. Animals are our friends and we should make friends with them. However, he killed them. He lost his leg, which he deserved. He made the sacrifice for what he did. We could not harm the nature or we will have the bad result just like the dead the White Whale had killed. We should have harmony with the nature. 本文版权归曼界森英书下载网及英文小说网共同所有

篇二：5. Moby Dick《白鲸》读后感

5. Moby Dick

Class: English 112

Be in Harmony with Nature

Captain Ahab took revenge on the white whale, as a matter of fact, the Almighty God, and omnipotent nature is his enemy. Moby Dick bites him then he regards it as the wicked representative. Later, he is so stubborn since then. He is determined to fight for his destiny. In fact, Moby Dick is out of self-protection to bite Captain Ahab.

As someone pose out that Ahab is such a tragic type of heroes. His dual images displays in two sides. On the one hand, he is an indomitable, fearless, courageous and experienced captain; on the other hand, in order to achieve his personal vindictive purpose, he disregards the crew’s life and death, never listens to others exhorts. He is insane to his revenge plan and becomes a paranoid, selfish and imperious devil.

From my point of view, I am strongly against Captain Ahab’s reaction to revenge on the white whale. First, it’s an accident for his losing of his leg. Second, it pays a lot to revenge on the white whale for it results in all the crews’ death. Third, it is a stupid and cruel behavior to kill animals in such a crazy way.

We live in and surrounded by nature, so it’s natural for us to live in harmony with it. Otherwise, we will get punishment sooner or later.

As we can see through the novel that Moby-Dick is symbolic of nature. Melville depicts the whale as being graceful and peaceful in its natural habitat, much like nature in general. He shows that when an outside force interrupts the true course of nature, it can result in violence and unexpected actions of either of the two. The whale is also similar to nature in that it is bound by natural laws, but that within these laws they are capable of being powerful and immortal, at the same time being temperate and peaceful.

Ahab views the whale as being similar to nature in that it is destructive. Ishmael associates the whale to nature in that they are both beautiful and wonderful. Starbuck seems to relate Moby -Dick to nature because of its ability to nourish, and he concentrates on what the whale has to offer, such as the oil and money he will obtain in killing it.

When I see the crews all lost their lives except one, to be harmony with all nature objects is important for human beings living in the world. Though many of the crew is noble and humane, Ishmael is the only one who has realized the brutality of human and obtained the inner harmony unrealized by Ahab, thus his survival in the end.

白鲸读后感英文版

《白鲸》主要叙述了主人公以实玛利受雇于“裴廓德号”出海猎鲸的经历。船长亚哈航海经验丰富，性格固执，他计划向一只之前航中咬去他一条腿的巨鲸莫比·迪克复仇。“裴廓德号”的大副斯达巴克及其他船员却想着多捕些鲸鱼，多取些鲸油风光地回家乡，但疯狂的船长对莫比·迪克的仇恨已经使他失去了理智，他胁迫其他人一定要遵守命令。“裴廓德号”在寻找白鲸的途中遭遇了暴风雨、海啸等各种自然灾难，但却被英勇、团结的水手们一一克服了。船行驶了三年后，终于发现了白鲸，船长亚哈带着必胜的信心和白鲸开始了较量，最精彩的情节也从这里开始了。号称海上巨怪的莫比·迪克对捕鲸船根本不屑一顾，第一次较量就一口咬碎了子船，船员们纷纷落水，幸好“裴廓德号”及时挡住白鲸，这才躲过一劫。船长亚哈在经受了一连串的折磨后，仍然显得精神振奋，斗志昂扬，继续追踪着白鲸。白鲸出现了，船员们奋力朝白鲸投掷鱼叉，三支鱼叉深深地插进了白的鲸的身体，白鲸发怒了，它气愤地举起城墙似的尾巴，在大海中掀起了轩然大波，再次把船员们抛入海中，好在白鲸没有赶尽杀绝，船员们却已是伤痕累累，但是再一次的失败也丝毫没有动摇船长要杀死白鲸的决心。最后的决战开始了，船长亚哈用尽全身的力气使鱼叉准确无误地扎进白鲸的眼窝中，难忍的剧痛使莫比·迪克彻底发飙了，它用它那硕大的头颅撞沉了“裴廓德号”,船长亚哈还是不放弃，用尽自己最后的力气，把两支鱼叉又扎入了白鲸的身体，不料其中一支鱼叉上的绳箍正好套住了亚哈船长的脖子，船长就随着白鲸一起消使了，最后只有以实玛利抓到一块浮木活了下来。

大海平息了，“裴廓德号”消失了，亚哈船长和白鲸也消失了踪影，只有一些水手的尸体偶尔漂浮在海面上，这个故事就以这样悲惨的结局告终了。（到这里，作者终于将故事情节复述完毕了。下面应该是开始写自己的体会和想法??）我猜想以实玛利或许就是作者的化身，作者也有过传奇式的经历，才会把这则小说写得如此惊心动魄。作者赞扬了那些英勇的水手们，虽然他们永远也回不了自己的家乡了，但对他们来说，大海才是他们的故乡，他们团结协作、英勇无畏、敢于牺牲的精神将永存世间。（这句蓝色标出的话放在此处，与上下文好像连得不够自然，我觉得可以放到文末处，你觉得呢？）作者

描写的船长亚哈真是让人又可敬又可恨，明明可以避免这场灾难，船员们可以带着满船的鲸油回到家乡过幸福的日子，可他却一意孤行，一定要捕杀白鲸，结果却葬身海底。但正是因为他的执著，才能使莫比·迪克早日被杀，再也伤害不了人。虽然船长亚哈是残疾人，但每次像白鲸战斗，他总是冲在最前面，全然不顾自己的安危，他又是如此的英勇和善良。我的心里其实暗暗地有点敬佩这位船长，他的执著可不是常人能做到的呀！

不知怎么的，最近总是喜欢看关于冒险的书籍，妹妹便跟我介绍了一本名叫《白鲸》“冒险性”的书籍。接下来，我就给你介绍一下这部作品。

这部书的原名是《莫比·迪克》（moby dick），是美国作家赫尔曼·麦尔维尔再距今一百多年前创作的长篇小说。《白鲸》不知在美国文坛上有着崇高的地位，也成为世界海洋文学的代表作。

这本书大概讲的是：一头恶名昭彰的白鲸莫比·迪克经常在海上兴风作浪，因此夺取了无数捕鲸人的生命。捕鲸人都很惧怕在海上遭受到白鲸莫比·迪克的猛烈袭击，那么后果将不堪设想。亚哈船长也在一次捕鲸中，被白鲸莫比·迪克咬掉一条腿。从此，他发誓不杀死白鲸绝不罢休。故事才刚刚开始??以实玛利因为缘分亚哈船长、魁魁格和斯达巴克相遇，结成好友并加入了捕白鲸莫比·迪克的队伍中。通过向海洋的挑战，最终搜寻到了白鲸的踪迹，最后经过与白鲸的生死较量，裴廓德号沉入海底，只有以实玛利一人幸存??

亚哈船长是裴廓德号的船长，为了追捕夺取几十格水手的白鲸，而航遍世界各海洋，是一位勇敢而富有同情心的独脚老人，也是因为如此，导致他的脾气变得很暴躁。他更是一位敢于挑战大自然的老人。以实玛利和船长与白鲸搏斗的青年。它本身是商船上的水手，但对捕鲸很有兴趣，于是转投入捕鲸这一行，他也是这次捕鲸中唯一存活下来的人。魁魁格十印第安人，是个酋长的儿子，也是掷鱼叉的好手。他机智，英勇，赢得全船人的敬重。莫比·迪克就是被称为“海上魔王的可怕的白鲸，他全身雪白，额头和背上满是皱纹，凶猛无比，夺取了许多水手的生命。

这本书告诉我：只要自己有了一个可以争取达到的目标或高度，在符合常理的情况下，一定要超越它，即使它离我们有多么的遥远，做到处事不惊，坚持不懈，勇往直前，我们都能创造自己的奇迹。

篇四：白鲸读后感

《白鲸》读后感

对外汉语1103班 赵丹 10号

在一望无际，神秘莫测的大海上，夕阳西下，旭日东升，海鸥翱翔飞过，一群水手在这儿上演着一场惊险、曲折、扣人心弦的话剧......

一个叫以实玛利的沧桑老人向我们讲述了这样一个他亲身经历了的故事。为了实现自己那出海捕鲸的愿望，他与他那知心的朋友，“生番”王子魁魁格一起到了南塔开特港，上了一条叫“裴廓德号”的捕鲸船。未曾料到，这艘船的船长亚哈（《圣经》中的残暴国王，作者在这里引为比喻）只是为了复仇去捕杀那条叫莫比-迪克的白色巨鲸。经过一番艰苦寻找和殊死搏斗，亚哈最终还是失败了。和他一起葬送的，是“裴廓德号”和上面的全体船员，只留下以实玛利“惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你”。

这样一个结局，也许会让无数人深沉叹息，会让很多人留下眼泪。在这之后，我们会更多地思考，这样一场悲剧的产生究竟归罪于谁？

当然不是以实玛利，也不会是白鲸莫比-迪克。细细想来，我们也不应该过多地去责备亚哈，就算是动物有时也会懂得复仇，何况是一个倍受断腿痛苦折磨的“变态狂”。

答案就是贯穿整部书的一个行动——捕鲸。

捕鲸人不可谓不是英勇矫健，而白鲸当然也有自己生存的理由。而罪恶的捕鲸业迫使无数走投无路的“社会渣滓”被迫把自己的生命悬在波峰浪谷上，与彼此素不相识、无怨无仇的大鲸进行残酷的撕杀，以换取微薄的收入。如果说大鲸成了人类发展的牺牲品，那人类——那些被逼无奈的“社会渣滓”又何尝不是一样的呢？如果我们能进一步地深思的话，不难发现，其实这部书的作者也许是在向我们揭露和诉说19世纪美国社会的黑暗，富人对穷人的压迫。因为捕鲸业的真正收益人，只不过是船东老板这些上中层人物，以及全社会的资本积累。 作者赫尔曼·麦尔维尔自身就是一个有着非凡经历的人，当然在这样一部世界名著中，也能找到他的影子。以实玛利为了实现梦想而去出海捕鲸，自然作者本人也做过水手。作者曾在1841和1850年分别外出航行，为描写这个以他亲身经历为基础的故事提供了丰富素材，显得全小说真实得感人。全书也表达了作者对捕鲸业的热爱和对大海的向往。他为书中的那些低人一等、被人称作“屠夫”的捕鲸人进行了辩护，在二十四章，他把人对鲸的屠杀——捕鲸和人对人的屠杀——战争等同起来，讥讽了那些杀人不眨眼却还被捧为“贵族”、“大将”的殖民军将领。而相比之下，捕鲸人却有着更多高贵品质，他们勇于探索、勤劳能干，用血泪与汗水书写了世界历史上的悲壮一章，为美国乃至整个世界的资本主义发展作出了自己特有的贡献。

但是我个人并不完全同意作者的观点，哪样不是屠杀呢？人类历史上怎么就需要有这么多的屠杀？不管是对自己还是对大自然所造就的尤物，不都是出自人类无以填补的欲望空洞吗？大自然造就了陆地，造就了海洋：陆地成就了人类，海洋成就了大鲸。陆地和海洋之间，人类和大鲸之间，为什么就会发生这么多的令人触目惊心的灾难？我们可以把莫比-迪克看作自然用以告戒人类的使者，把灾难看作自然对人类的不满和即将毁灭人类的预兆。那么人类的确也该反省这些罪恶了，并为所作所为付出代价，不仅为了自己和后代的生存，也是为了自己和其他生物的共存。

书中不光有抒发作者澎湃激情的文字，也有对人物的生动刻画。

在书中的一系列人物中，自然也有我的最爱。从第三章就一直陪伴主人公以实玛利到“裴廓德号”被海水浸没而死去的“吃人生番”王子魁魁格就是我所青睐的一个人物，作者居然借以实玛利之口说出“如果你在沙皇面前得拉掉帽子，那么，你也对魁魁格脱下帽子吧！”这样的赞美。魁魁格来自印第安部落的一个小岛上，一次一条捕鲸船在他父亲——这个部落酋长——所属的地方靠岸，这个年轻的印第安人就跟随他们到了文明的世界。在船上，他成了一个优秀的标枪手。但他和文明人相处的时间越长，就越发现他们身上所具有的虚伪与奸诈，他想从他们那里学到技艺以造福自己臣民的愿望也不攻自破。他甚至觉得由于文明的玷污，他都不配登上“那相承三十代纯净无疵的异教王座”。

然而，他身上所具有的人格魅力却时时没有减退。他一开始对以实玛利即使感到陌生也表现得十分尊重和礼貌；后来与他那比亲兄弟还亲的单纯友谊，彼此肝胆相照；在“小摩的斯号”邮船上救了那个先前捉弄他后来掉进水里的那个“臭小子”，以致于以实玛利后来“就像狗虱子一样死死扳住魁魁格不放”。数不胜数的事实表明，这个傻得可爱的野人有着比我们所谓文明的人有着高尚得多的品质。

《白鲸》告诉我们：人生是因为曲折才美丽，如果一个人从没有过失败，那他就也不会有真正的成功。只有迎难而上，尽自己的全力爬上了山峰，你的人生才会变得辉煌，那时，你一定会看到胜利后的‘美景’!摔倒了爬起来时，成功其实已在你的身旁，只差一步之遥。只有一次次的失败，才能让我们有坚强不屈的意志和大海般宽广的胸怀！我们一定要有信心，因为信心一定是超过你所取得的成就的，信心是成就之母。

篇五：白鲸读后感

《白鲸》读后感

《白鲸》成书于19世纪,是直到20世纪二三十年代才被挖掘出来的文学名著。过了一百年，从浩如烟海的书中重新被发现、被评论，被当作是人一生的必读作品，它的真正意义是值得探究的。

这本书的中文译本给我二个印象，一、它是部关于鲸的大杂烩，鲸是海洋的大型生物，作为内陆国家的居民，我们对鲸无疑是比较陌生，它体型巨大，大到什么程度？象座山在海上四处漂浮，鲸群象座座移动的水上房屋？它的表面光滑。皮肤下面有一层很厚的脂肪用来保存身体的热量，它的脂肪呢?这层脂肪可以被用来照明，可以取暖,也使它成了人类追杀的对象。当然它的肉，人们也很爱吃，但是在离陆地很远的海上，这个优先权不得不让给了海上动物，人鲸搏斗时，鲨鱼早已守在一旁翘首观看，随时一拥而上，把鲸吃得只剩下一幅骨头架子。所以在那个时代，一条鲸的主要利用价值就是鲸油,鲸肉不是那么容易吃上。还有,鲸的嘴特别大，上下颌有几十枚圆锥形的大牙齿，模样凶神恶煞，能把一只海狮整个吞下。牙齿非常坚强，但没有鲨鱼的锋利，主要用于攫取而不是咀嚼，被它叼住的食物都是整个吞下的。在这本书里,我们随时可以感受到作者对鲸的热爱，不仅了解它的过去,细数它的家史,它的远亲近邻也在详细探讨它的进化，不惜冒着离题万里这一大忌,扯些和捕鲸主题不相关的东西，而且使作品晦涩冗长，沉闷难读,只能说明他用心良苦,希望读者能像他样热爱鲸，至少也要让读者明白他不但了解鲸而且对它有着深厚感情。

二、书中重要的叙述部分，就是如何捕杀鲸。在受了良好教育，爱和平温和善良的人看来，捕鲸是很残忍的。这样的一类庞然大物，在海洋里自得其乐，随意地喷水，自在地游弋，惬意地生活，和人类秋毫不犯，却被捕鲸的人四处围捕、杀戮，最终取它的鲸油卖钱，难道凶残就是人类称霸全球和取得财富的必需，看完本书后，闭上眼默想今年所发生的国际大事,你不得不点头说是的。海洋里的鲸一见到这类船只，已经嗅到了死亡气息,虽然是宠然大物,也奈何不了杀气腾腾的人类,只有没命地游啊逃啊，但大部分难以逃脱,那个时期海上也捕鲸船可是在远洋星星点点,四处游弋。逃不过的就掉头奋力反击，白鲸就是无数被杀死的鲸的反叛英雄，凭着残忍和刚强成了胜利者和更强者。它战胜了不可战胜的人类，使得不少评论者认为作者写这本书有丰富的象征意义，是部寓言式的小说，最深刻一点是人类最终敌不过命运的挑战。

西方人为什么要不顾一切危险去捕鲸？有二种原因，一是存在着广泛被认可的观念是捕鲸业为最伟大的事业，它能带来巨大的财富，二捕鲸水手是大自然的开拓先锋，他们探索了地球上最荒僻和边远的角落，敲开了许多闭关自守国家的大门。不但有物质利益刺激，还能进行“先进文化”的传播，认为这是富有开拓精神和冒险创新精神的表现，这是西方引以为傲并且被世界接受的观念。这些思想也为本书所津津乐道而且被评论界大加赞扬。也是它流行和成为经典的原因，要知作者生前可是没什么名气，为生计疲于奔命。

也不奇怪船长被白鲸咬断一条腿后，把这看做是生命里的奇耻大辱，醒着是惦量复仇计划，梦里是和白鲸搏斗，复仇成了他生活动力，存在理由。但这条白鲸无疑是最聪明，也是最无畏的，它比好斗、以凶残为美的人类更胜一筹。面临追捕没有吓得哆嗦，保持雍荣常态，不象有些鲸，一面临危险就乖乖投降，，不想保节气，以为命就保得住吗？它仍旧在紧追不舍追的船前方嬉戏喷水，时而潜入深深的海底，时而探出它那高贵的头颅，小小的眼睛。当一只只锋利鲸叉直刺身体时，血染红了大海，它没有轻易投降，肚皮一翻，浮上水面作死鱼状，没有。“我们清晰无比地看着它们威震大海的头、愤怒的小眼、鬼门关一样的大嘴、铡刀一样的牙齿。而最让我们胆寒的，是现在正在我们的头顶上摇动着的大鲸的尾巴，只要它准确地落下来，就全部完蛋了。”正是这条强壮有力的大尾巴掀翻了捕鲸船，打败了捕鲸船，让船长和追随他的船员葬身海底。它比船员更有智慧力量、狡诈、暴虐，象征着大自然的不可战胜。
