This paper argues that Moby-Dick dramatizes several long-standing issues that pertain to gender. The focus on trying to determine the objective truth of perceived reality and the motif of body modification combine to form a prescient exploration of modern debates and conflicts surrounding gender, not only as it is embodied but how it is conceptualized.
