On the third day after Ahab finally sights Moby Di.ck, the great whale attacks the boat. Moby Di.ck rams the <em>Pequod</em> and sinks it. Afterwards, Ahab is caught in a harpoon line, resulting in his death. The sinking ship creates a vortex which begins sucking in everything that surrounds it, including the remaining whaleboats and men. The only survivor of this catastrophe is Ishmael.

Read the excerpt from Act III, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet. Juliet: And bring in cloudy night immediately. Spread thy close cur
stepladder [879]

The phrases foggy night, hidden, and spread thy close curtain all support the theme of gloom. So,<em> closed curtain, cloudy night, eyes may wink, and unseen</em> are the correct words and phrases.

<h3>What is the significance of the dark motif?</h3>

On an overcast night, all of the stars should be visible. When this happens, the sky will get even darker due to the fact that all sources of light will be blocked.

Being hidden also supports the idea that it was too dark outside for anybody to see Romeo come to see her, as well as the fact that there was a dark enough location in which Romeo could navigate without fear of guards catching sight of him.

The phrase "spread thy tight curtain" refers to the darkness and Juliet's expectation that curtains will appear to cover the sky.

The line "runaway's eyes may wink" could be added as an extra phrase. Juliet refers to the night as "runaway," however she also sees the stars as "eyes," blinking.
