1、本科生毕业论文《白鲸》的象征意义AReadingofSymbolsinMobyDick题目：《白鲸》的象征意义摘要:《白鲸》使美国作家麦尔维尔誉满全球,它不仅是一部惊心动魄的灾难历险小说，也是一部被赋予象征意味的哲理小说。其中的白鲸被描写成无处不在，无所不能的万能的上帝。埃哈布船长为复仇远涉重洋捕捉白鲸，最后自己，同伴与白鲸同归于尽的事迹，既表现了人类的勇敢与忍耐，也反映了他们的偏执与疯狂。另一个贯穿全文的象征就是“床单”，它象征世界不同文化的混合与交织，世界就像一块由多种布拼凑而成的床单，由不同的文化、种族、背景交织而成，人们在一起相互依靠

2、，相互依存，小说中来自不同国家的船员就是最生动形象的体现。关键词：白鲸;埃哈布;上帝;人类;床单Title:AReadingofSymbolsinMobyDickAbstract:MobyDickisnotmerelyawhalingtaleorseaadventure,butalsoaphilosophicnovelwithsymbolicmeanings.MobyDickrepresentsGodowingtohisgodlikecharactersandhisawfullyseverebeauty.Ahabsymbolizesthele
