“Thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool!”
What does Ahab symbolize? Ahab is a symbol of the destructive nature of man. He symbolizes vengeance and obsession in his quest to destroy the white whale.
Gregory Peck disliked his performance as Captain Ahab so much that even nearly 20 years later, he refused to give permission to Steven Spielberg to use a scene from Moby Dick (1956) in Jaws (1975).
Ahab could not view his goal and weigh the risks with clarity. He wanted to harpoon Moby Dick at all costs, but never considered that the whale would drag him down. Not learning from the experience of others is a common trap of the Ahab syndrome.
