What reading level is Why Read Moby-Dick? book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
8 The Anatomy of a Demagogue To be in the presence of a great leader is to know a blighted soul who has managed to make the darkness work for him. Ishmael says it best: “For all men tragically great are made so through a certain morbidness. Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease.” In chapter 36, “The Quarter-Deck,” Melville shows us how susceptible we ordinary people are to the seductive power of a great and demented man.
At the beginning of the chapter, Ahab seet...hes with barely contained energy as he paces back and forth across the deck, the point of his whalebone leg leaving the wood “dented, like geological stones.” Stubb, the second mate, observes that “the chick that’s in him pecks the shell.” And then it begins, Ahab’s version of a command performance. Until this point, he has not revealed the secret purpose of the voyage. What he wants to do is illegal. He has not been hired by the Pequod’s owners to revenge himself on a white whale.
