    Commentary on Transcendentalism Throughout Moby-Dick --Because one did survive the wreck. -Herman Melville‚ 1851- It is quite possible that nothing runs deeper through the veins of Herman Melville than his disdain for anything transcendental. Melville’s belittling of the entire transcendentalist movement is far from sparsely demonstrated throughout the pages of Moby-Dick‚ in which he strategically points out the intrinsic existence of evil‚ the asperity of nature and the wrath of the almighty

The poem truly manifests the greatness of this wild creature and wonderfully demonstrates
