This was unlike the biased Christian scop who told the epic story of “Beowulf‚” who often mixed Christianity with Pagan beliefs in the plot of the

In the beginning of the book‚ Father Mapple gives a sermon to the sailors about Jonah and the whale. This story in itself has much symbolism and starts the book off with the notion that God and the Bible are very much a part of the story. In specific there are
