I feel like when you say that Moby-Dick is very gay people expect that it is comically and inadvertently homoerotic instead of, like, Queequeg explicitly telling Ishmael that they are married now 🐋

Melville's /Moby Dick/ the gift that keeps on giving:
Two dudes in a bar: one says to another:
"Haven't you had enough tequila?"
"I didn't know my name was Ishmael."
"What?"
"I said: I didn't know my name was Ishmael."
"What are you talking about? I didn't call you Ishmael."

Epilogue:
People discuss what or who Ahab represents, or whether Moby Dick is God or the devil.
These questions are irrelevant to the book, but, like Ishmael, I will not be deterred by that fact or by my lack of qualifications from giving this definitive answer:

At the end of Ch 42 ("The Whiteness of the Whale") Melville/Ishmael refers to Moby Dick as "the Albino Whale". So surely he's white all over?

Someone should make an edition of Moby Dick with a bunch of added chapters where Ishmael talks about all the whale facts we've learned since that book came out.

This may sound pithy or like one of those “did you know that Shakespeare was the original rapper?” cliches, but one that has gradually sunk in deeper with each reading of Moby Dick I’ve done is how frighteningly recognizable Ishmael is as an “I’ve done my own research” guy.

Started reading Moby Dick on the recommendation of a friend, and I was NOT PREPARED for both a) how funny the first few chapters are, and b) how down bad Ishmael is for Queequeg. Like, nobody tell me if they kiss.

think of a scene from the 1956 “Moby Dick” film, where Ishmael is at a pub, which the name of the pub absolutely didn't help because it was named “The Whale & Ale”) and it was one of the places that got added to the list of spots we wanted to go to. There is also that aspect for me which was that I

More Moby Dick notes:
- “Read the chapters aloud,” I said. “Record them when you do,” I said.
- And then came preternaturally long Chapter 3.
- Ishmael would have loved those Magic Eye drawings from the ‘90s.
- Thank you, Herman Melville, for the plot engine gift of “There Was Only One Bed.”

I've never read Moby Dick until now. The relationship between Ishmael and Queequag is laugh out loud funny. I've been pleasantly surprised

Doylist analysis of Moby-Dick is fun because a. Ishmael is intentionally written as full of shit about a great many things, and b. Melville himself is also full of shit about a great many things, so every time Ishmael is full of shit you get to play a game of ON WHAT LEVEL is he full of shit?

Moby Dick is legitimately hard to listen to because Ishmael is SO insufferable. Such a tedious narrator. I would push him overboard immediately.

What stands out to me about today's Moby-Dick reading is how everyone at the Spouter Inn reacts to Ishmael and Queequeg the morning after their "hearts' honeymoon." The others are "amazingly tickled at the sudden friendship which had sprung up between me and Queequeg." + 🐋
