Chapter 74: Moby Dick

This chapters main subject is the placement of the eyes upon the Sperm Whales head. "The position of the whales eyes correspond to that of a mans ears." This is a foreshadow as it explains that the whale is unable to see directly in front of itself, leading it to crashing into boats on accident or most likely in Moby Dick's case, not as accurately as it hoped. Later in the chapter Ishmael makes them sound very intelligent explaining that they must be able to view and process  two individual images simotaniously giving that they cant form one image because of the placement of their eyes.
