>13 chapters about sharing a room and getting gay married to some cannibal savageI'm starting to think this Melville guy's a fag.
there weren't any women on whaling shipsalso he wrote a whole chapter about what the inside of a whale's mouth looks like
>>25248560Ishmael doesn't get on the ship until 20 chapters in, and even if he didn't, there's no reason to write about muscular savage men as much as Melville did.
if you have a problem with a little tasteful homoeroticism you are antiliterature & a detriment to western civilization as a whole
>>25248576You eat poop.
>>25248526Foids cannot into bromance lol.
>>25248580>bromanceFake word used by faggots in denial.
I felt like you when I strated reading. C'mon Herman, tis the 1800s, can't talk about two men in a bed like that, one being a savage and all. Then there's chapter 110 and you really feel for the feller. You just bond with the guys through every chapter. Queequegs a cannibal savage but he became a friend very quick and he deserves every bit of attention Melville gives him. Dude can't read or wirte but can hunt and will die for his friends. That means something
>>25248622Chapter 94 also. The counterpane scene at the start and chapter 94 form a pair and Melville knows exactly what he is doing with both of them. The question of what you owe someone and what they owe you is the book's actual subject and Queequeg is where it is clearest.>>25248551The Redburn passage is Melville, not Nabokov. Redburn is one of his earlier sea novels. The attribution is wrong or the joke is that Melville writes like Nabokov, which is I think the actual point.
>>25248586t. has never had a true friend
>>25248622Sounds like you have to be gay to like this book.
>>25248629I've had friends, I just don't use faggy words to describe friendship.
>>25248643Bromance is a tier above friendship. You have it with one, at most two, people in your entire life.
Eros between men, whether sublimated or consummated, is the highest form of love. Read Plato
>>25248526>cannibal savageThose are the best fags to turn out
>>25248526There’s nothing more pure than two guys in love, as the anon above said, read Plato. A lot of us hate women here, but you don’t just think it’s because we’re all incel chuds, do you?
