In contrast to Ahab's self-centered defiance is the theme of friendship, or camaraderie, which is characterized primarily through Ishmael and Queequeg.The two meet under awkward circumstances. As a result of a shortage of beds at the Spouter-inn,as well as the mischievous nature of the proprietor, Queequeg and Ishmael find themselves in a frightening situation. Ishmael has no idea that his bunkmate is a "heathen" and concludes that the aborigine who enters the room late is a cannibal. Queequeg doesn't even know he is to share his bed with anyone and does threaten Ishmael's life.
-They are characters who can do grow and change. Queequeg left his native land of Kokovoko to learn about the rest of the world. Ishmael has similar motives for his ventures.

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.]]> 2018-01-21 05:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Brndn/zxlqibdtwqjk/wish/223064113 Characters Brndn https://padlet.com/Brndn/zxlqibdtwqjk/wish/223064356 Queequeg:

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.]]> 2018-01-21 05:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Brndn/zxlqibdtwqjk/wish/223064393 Setting Brndn https://padlet.com/Brndn/zxlqibdtwqjk/wish/223064425
