Chapter 27 of Moby Dick
In this chapter, Ishmael reflects on the relationships between the various crew members of the Pequod. He compares the hierarchy on board the ship to that of medieval knights and their squires. He notes that Captain Ahab is like a knight, while the other officers, including Starbuck, Stubb, and Flask, are his squires. The rest of the crew, including Ishmael himself, are like common soldiers. Ishmael also reflects on the diversity of the crew. He notes that they come from many different countries and backgrounds, and that their different personalities and experiences make them well-suited for the difficult and dangerous work of whaling.
