1. Introduction
Herman Melville is one of the greatest American literary naturalists, who was born in a rich family in New York in 1819. After his father died in debt, 11-year-old Melville had to begin to work early. He once worked as a bank clerk, a salesman, a schoolteacher, but all these failed to offer him a decent livelihood. Then he went to sea at twenty, which provided him rich e*periences, especially his sailing e*periences that furnished him with abundant material for fiction. For a period of some eight years after his return from the sea, he was at most prolific. Melville composes lots of works, such as Typee (1846), Omoo(1847), Mardi(1849), Redburn(1849), White Jacket(1850), Moby-Dick(1851) etc. Among his works, Moby-Dick is one of the greatest masterpieces of the world.
Moby-Dick is a very famous novel showing that Ahab, the captain of the Pequod, leads the crew to pursue and kill the white whale. It is also the story of the struggle and harmony of nature and human beings, reflecting the comple* relationship between humanity and nature. The others also have touched upon the relationship. For e*ample, Tian Fang, the instructor of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, writes one paper – Melville’s opinion on the relationship between human beings and nature. Wang Yiqun also writes an article entitled On Humanistic Thinking In Moby-Dick.
In the novel, the purpose of analyzing humanity and nature is to research the relationship between humanity and nature. The analysis of the relationship in the novel reflects human’s evil and tolerance in the realistic society. According to the analysis, we can find the positive side of humanity to harmoniously coe*ist with nature.
2. Analysis of nature
Nature means all the things in the universe that are not made by human beings, such as animals, plants, mountains, and rivers. The analysis of nature in the thesis mainly focuses on the white whale—Moby Dick, the ocean and the ship—the Pequod.
2.1 The white whale—Moby Dick
Moby Dick is also called the white whale literally because it possesses a special white back and a huge white head. It is so noble and tranquil that it freely swims in the ocean and shares the sunshine. It has blended into nature and becomes a typical representation of nature. However, Moby Dick is a terrible whale. It represents the devil of nature and receives God’s order to fight against those whalemen who desire to chase, even kill it. Those whalemen think that Moby Dick is more curious than other whales living in the ocean. They also believe that once they meet with Moby Dick and try to attack it, they will suffer from such harmful calamity in these assaults. Moby Dick is also clever. It can estimate accurately what is the best time to assault human beings successfully.consequently, Moby Dick is the scared, mysterious, invincible and intellectural embodiment of the ocean in nature.
2.2 The ocean
The ocean is that it is so vast and endless. When sailing in the sea, we feel that we are so tiny. We adore the broad attitude of the ocean.
But the cunning, fierce and unmerciful features of the ocean are substantial. Indeed, in order to escape from the human’s chase and protect themselves, the marine creatures have to seek a shelter. The best shelter is beneath the ocean where they can hide. If human ……（未完，全文共24328字，當前僅顯示4376字，請閱讀下面提示信息。收藏《畢業(yè)論文：解讀《白鯨》中人性與自然的關系》）
