Chapter 75: Moby Dick

The chapter compares the right whale to many powerful and large things such a Roman Chariot, a bassviol and its sound board, and a space large enough for the little old lady who lived in a show and all her children. This gives the whale a sense of power being compared to a roman chariot as if it a great warrior, but also intelligent or wise from the bassviol. Much like you would expect an ancient warrior to be smart in the tactics of battle. Describing of the whale as a house also should be noted as an allusion to the bible story Jonah and The Whale.
