t seems pretty easy to identify Ishmael and his role in Moby-Dick: he’s a young, white, American man living in the mid-nineteenth century. He’s educated, a little stuck up, and may once have been schoolteacher. He’s prone to depression, and when he gets really melancholic—or wants to knock off random people's hats—he likes to hire himself out as a common sailor. Convinced that a whaling trip would be the coolest kind of sea voyage (and we’re not saying he’s wrong, there), he joins the crew of the Pequod and tells us, in the first person, the story of his travels.

# data[].attributes.body
Queequeg, like his best buddy Ishmael, has a bit of the ol' wanderlust in him. The son of a king on a (fictional) South Sea island, Queequeg is desperate to find out what it was like to sail on one of the white men’s whaling ships. In fact he’s so desperate that, when a passing ship turns down his application, he throws himself onto the deck, grabs hold of something, and won’t let go... even when they threaten to cut his arm off.
