Abstract

In this article, I will focus on an aspect that can be inferred from reading Moby Dick: the voyage of the Pequod as an attempt to exceed the human limit with the intention to punish the culprit of his expulsion from Eden, at the same time, Moby Dick is the monster at the gates of the limit, and whose purpose is to prevent this transgression.
