Abstract:
Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick tells the story of Ishmael, a sailor who joins the whaling ship Pequod, captained by the obsessed and vengeful Captain Ahab. Ahab’s sole mission is to hunt down and kill the legendary white whale, Moby-dick, who had previously bitten off Ahab’s leg at the knee. As a towering masterpiece of American literature, Moby-Dick is a novel that defies simple categorization and is renowned for its rich narrative complexity and profound thematic depth. Central to the novel is the character of Captain Ahab, whose quest to vanquish the white whale, Moby-dick, forms the back bone

Abstract:
The study examines Captain Ahab – Herman Melville’s iconic figure from the novel Moby-Dick in comparison with Jack Torrance, who is the central male character in Stephen King’s The Shining. The analogy is motivated by the tragic nature and the madness of the two characters, which is related to their antagonism. The aim is to establish any references between the two characters with the idea to trace the characteristics of dark romanticism such as the progression of madness and human fallibility in the development of Jack Torrance. Several aspects of parallelization are proposed – the characters

Abstract:
Hubristic characters, in Greek mythology and in later eras, have been looked at negatively. Once a hubristic character emerges, that would provoke nemesis. Consequently, society would punish him/her since she/he allegedly challenges the gods, ignoring warnings and laws of society, and that would present him/her as someone rude and challenging the norms. Accordingly, such a hubristic character would eventually face moral, spiritual, and physical downfall. However, it seems that presenting a hubristic character in Greek mythology and in later eras in such a negative way is a mere fallacy. In fac

IntroductionWhat ties Ahab, the notorious captain of the Pequod in Herman Melville's 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, to King Lear, the desperate old regent from William Shakespeare's eponymous play published in 1608, is not only their overabundant quest for meaning, or their obsession with pursuing their targets, but their idiosyncratic experiencing of themselves in their personal realities.AimsCaptain Ahab is put in relation with King Lear, in order to show in what way issues of identity and of existence emerge in the course of their fictional lives.

Abstract:
Abstract Authoritarian leadership is a challenge for organizational analysis. The perplexity regarding how we have accepted its occurrence various times throughout history runs through the thinking of intellectuals such as Adorno, Habermas, Sloterdijk, and Arendt. A complementary way of studying it is through literature. Literature has enormous potential for interpreting the world and, given the creativity of its authors, it can deal with complex themes, characters, and events, with a freedom that, due to its methodological rigor, science often does not allow.

Abstract:
The image of Judge Holden evokes the image of a sinister seven-foot-tall, completely hairless man, who is the arch-nemesis of humanity. A man of vast erudition, Holden is also the most savage of the lot riding alongside John Joel Glanton. The figure of Judge Holden has drawn comparisons to the character of Captain Ahab and the great white whale, Moby Dick.
 But Judge Holden also brings to mind the character of Lucifer. Both of them emerge as enemies of humanity and appear awe-inspiring even in their fallen state. It must not be forgotten that they had possibly glorious pasts. But they mad

Abstract:
Introduction Many people interpret the word ‘cult’ through specific connotations, including, but not limited to, a community of like-minded people on the edge of civilization, often led by a charismatic leader, with beliefs that are ‘other’ to societal ‘norms’. Cults are often perceived as deviant, regularly incorporating elements of crime, especially physical and sexual violence. The adoption by some cults of a special uniform or dress code has been readily picked up by popular culture and has become a key ‘defining’ characteristic of the nature of a cult.
