"What I’ve dared, I’ve willed; and what I’ve willed, I’ll do! They think me mad—Starbuck does; but I’m demonic, I am madness maddened!"
The Study: The line above is spoken by Ahab. But, I feel, it could just as easily have been spoken by our pres. Evil. It seems as if the quote is partly true - our pres has dared to do what he wants and some of us write him off as crazy, but it seems more and more like a diabolical plan is being set in place. Leaders, Melville shows us, are clear headed and just. Our current 'leader' is not just a crazy old man, he is demonic. We need to begin using the right words for what is taking place.
