The theme of the novel that this excerpt best addresses is the self-destructive nature of obsession. The narrator uses the White Whale as a symbol for every obsession that drives a man forward while, at the same time, it destroys him from within. This destruction is apparent in the fact that this man is living with "half a heart and half a lung" because the obsession has eaten the rest.

What consequences might Quinn’s family suffer if he participates in the protest?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm a little unsure but if this family has high status in the public eye then depending on the protest might make the family embarrassed or bring upon bad views by the public eye. If this family has a low status like not famous or known then it could just be embarrassing for them that a family member did something that is (depending on the protest) frowned upon. Hope this helps
