| Abstract: | Melville’s characters are explorers. Not always able to justify their leaving home and the familiar, they nonetheless embark upon a quest that is not only physical but also moral. From Tommo to Pierre, they passionately identify with a quest in which they invest all their resources: physical, intellectual or spiritual. From this point of view, Billy Budd seems to be an atypical Melvillean hero since his mindlessness makes him a poor candidate for a spiritual enterprise. This paper intends to examine this apparent atypicality. |
