Captain Ahab is obsessed with hunting down Moby Dick, the white whale who bit off one of his legs. His paranoia is not only the epitome of human desire for conquest, but also a crazy allegory of industrial civilization's declaration of war on nature. From the ports of New England to the vast Pacific Ocean, the whaling ship "Pecod" has become a floating laboratory of civilization: the crew members with different skin colors, beliefs, and traumas collided in the closed cabin with the undercurrent of colonization, belief, and class. Whale oil, as the "black gold" of the industrial age, quietly connected human greed with ecological catastrophe.
