the theme of Moby Dxck is friendship through the special bond between the narrator of the novel, Ishmael, and Queequeg, a man native to an island of cannibals.
In his madness and egocentrism, tragically, he takes his ship and most of his crew with him. In contrast to Ahab's self-centered defiance is the theme of friendship, or camaraderie, which is characterized primarily through Ishmael and Queequeg. The two meet under awkward circumstances.
