In the classic tale moby d*i*c*k*, captain ahab is consumed by his need to punish the white whale that sank his boat and took his leg. this obsession takes over the captain's mind, and he drowns during another encounter with the whale. what is the resolution in this story? the white whale sank the captain's boat. the captain drowns during another encounter with the whale. the white whale takes the captain's leg. the obsession to hunt the whale takes over the captain's mind.
