DQ's 132-134

1. On Page 405 is Ahab's joyfulness for the type of day that is occurring a foreshadow of darker things to come or is it merely a slightly different outlook from Ahab on life that we had not been able to fully see until this point in the book?

2. Is the fact that Ahab is the first member of the ship supposed to be used as a tool to show his expertise in whaling or is it used to show that he is the most blood thirsty person on the ship and is constantly thinking of the revenge he wishes to gain?

3. What would happen to Ahab if he ever successfully caught the white whale? Would that be the end of his journey? Is the whale now his final concern or could he find the drive to fish for whales once again after its capture?
