- Published
- Leviathan 5 (2003): 73-77.
- Description
- Sallfors and Duban contend that MilT "informs the dramatic setting, humor, and tension of Ishmael's response to Queequeg's 'Ramadan'" in Chapter 17 of Melville's "Moby Dick." Specifically, the characterization of John the Carpenter underlies Ishmael's skeptical response.
