The correct answer is the first one: Melville is building a mood of suspense.


Long before Ahab appears in the story, there is an atmosphere of mystery about the captain of the ship. The owners call in the crew in while Ahab is absent. Ishmael is told that Ahab is a man of few words but deep meaning; from the first moment, it is clear that the captain has a complicated personality. He is an "ungodly, god-like" man who has attended colleges as well as he has been among cannibals. Ahab is ungodly because he refuses to submit to a higher power. He does not worship or even acknowledge that there are forces beyond himself. Ahab is god-like in the sense that he represents a higher power; perhaps he even wants to be considered as a God.


The mystery is deepened as Ahab remains in his cabin through the first days of the trip. Ishmael grows anxious, checking the area outside the captain's cabin whenever the narrator goes on watch. When Ahab finally appears, in this chapter 28, he is an imposing figure whose haunted look sends shivers Ishmael's spine.

what is the significance of mama elena spirit ? What is ironic about her spirit telling Tita, “You have forgotten all morality,
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Tita´s duty

Explanation:

When Mama Elena dies, tita got rid of her duty (or that was her thinking) and how you can tell in the story Tita feels completly free to love Pedro, free to do what ever she wants to do since she knew him. But that´s not true, her duty still there, why? because she was destined to serve her mom not to marry, not to have a romance.  When she supposed that she was pregnant (you know the reason), there's come Mama Elena to remind her that duty, obviously she got mad for what Tita did, she's angry and tells her that.
