the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde

Though the owners object at first to his paganism, Queequeg impresses them with his skill by hitting a tiny spot of tar on the water with a harpoon. They give him the ninetieth lay, “more than ever was given a harpooneer yet out of Nantucket.” Bildad tries to convert Queequeg to Christianity, but Peleg tells him to give up: “Pious harpooneers never make good voyagers—it takes the shark out of ’em; no harpooneer is worth a straw who ain’t pretty sharkish.” Peleg reminds Bildad that, at sea, practical concerns shove religious matters aside.

Moby Dick Chapter 18 His Mark

Chapter 29 in Moby Dick is titled "Enter Ahab; to Him, Stubb," and it depicts a meeting between Captain Ahab and one of his subordinate officers, Stubb.

The chapter begins with Stubb, the second mate of the Pequod, being woken up by the arrival of Ahab in his cabin. Ahab asks Stubb to join him on the deck and bring a pipe with him. They then proceed to smoke together and have a conversation.

During their conversation, Ahab reveals his deep obsession with finding and killing the white whale, Moby Dick, and how it has consumed his entire being. He speaks in cryptic and metaphorical language, likening the whale to a "pasteboard mask," and describing how he intends to "strike through the mask" and reveal the true nature of the creature.

Stubb, who is more pragmatic and focused on the practical aspects of whaling, tries to bring Ahab back to reality, reminding him of the dangers of hunting such a powerful and vengeful creature. However, Ahab remains single-mindedly fixated on his goal and dismisses Stubb's concerns.

The chapter ends with Ahab dismissing Stubb and returning to his own cabin, leaving Stubb to reflect on his captain's increasingly erratic behavior and the potentially catastrophic consequences of his obsession.

Overall, chapter 29 serves as a pivotal moment in the novel, highlighting Ahab's growing obsession and foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold as the Pequod continues its quest for the white whale.

SUT Presents - How To Be Fat

What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity by Dave Pickering was performed in November 2015 at the Dogstar in Brixton.

Unbound have approached me about adapting it into a book and if you preorder/pledge your support you can help make the book happen: https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/

In 2015, I made a show about being a man called What About the Men? Mansplaining Masculinity. As research for the show, I surveyed 1000 anonymous men. In 2016, I wrote and performed an extension of the show called Liberating Men for BBC Radio 4's Four Thought. That episode was the Radio Times Pick of the Day.
