A symbolic novel‚ its major ’symbol’ symbolizes absolutely nothing. Its heroic central figure is a character on the epic scale‚ whose strength overwhelms all the men who surround him; but he is blinded by his own vision‚ mouths the ideas of an author whom Melville thought "a humbug‚" and is ultimately a parody of the Transcendentalist
