- 👁️ 2. Ishmael's Reflections
- Prejudice overcome: Face covered in tattoos, but "you cannot hide the soul"
- Key qualities: Simple honest heart, brave and noble
- Metaphor: "The cannibal version of George Washington"
- Contrast: 20,000 miles from home (feels like planet Jupiter) but totally relaxed
- Decision: Better than many Christians -> "I'll try a pagan friend"
- 🤝 3. Interaction & Ritual
- Approach: Ishmael moves his chair to look at the book together
- Interest: Queequeg prefers pictures over words and relaxes
- Peace offering: They share a pipe, exchanging puffs
- Final Ritual: Foreheads pressed together, embrace around the waist
- Pact: Declared "married" -> best friends in Queequeg's culture
- Novel: Moby Dick (1851) by Herman Melville
- Plot: Captain Ahab wants to kill the white whale on the ship Pequod
- Characters: Ishmael (narrator) & Queequeg (South Pacific cannibal)
- Scene: Staying at a Massachusetts inn before sailing
- 🏠 1. The Inn & Queequeg's Actions
- Setting: Ishmael returns from chapel; Queequeg is alone by the fire
- Action: Counts pages of a large book with regularity
- Reaction: Whistles with astonishment every 50 pages
