Now i completely understand
That is, of course, the beauty and power of art, including great literature, like Melville's "Moby Dick", Of Troy.
We can see in it, and take from it, exactly what we wish, whether validation, or occasion for introspection or even insights prompting personal growth.
The choice is always ours to read into it whatever we please, to see ourselves as the moral equivalent of Ahab, or of Moby Dick, or to see Ahab and Moby Dick as the divided self at war with itself.
Or to read into it nothing at all.
