After thorough researching, the revision added dramatic irony because of the reason it strengthens the emotions and the meaning of the text that was stated. It helped the reader absorbed the text and improve their comprehensive skills at the same time.
This detail exemplifies the larger theme of the futility of human efforts to dominate nature.
The entire novel revolves around that theme - whether Ahab as a human is capable of dominating Moby Dic, which is a whale and thus a representative of nature. Nature seems to be winning constantly and humans are ultimately unable to conquer it because nature is unconquerable. <span />
Ecology gives all species including us; food, water, shelter, and so on.The smallest difference can set everything off balance. A good example would be global warming. You would think that 2 degrees every decade would be a small change, but nothing in ecology is small. Plants need a certain temperature to thrive, if that temperature changes they die. A certain animal may be dependent on that plant for food and when that plant dies so does that animal. Another animal may also be dependent on that other animal for food, and with that animal gone it will also die. It's a viscous cycle that holds lots of power on us humans.
(I hope that helps)
