Answered by SirCity on 10/20/2011 2:27 PM Starbuck is a more practical man than Ahab, and knows it is a fool's game to continue chasing the whale. The whale is an animal acting out of instinct. Starbuck feels that Ahab's thrust for vengeance against the animal is "blasphemous" against the natural order of things. …in the “magic glass” of Starbuck’s eye. He protests on the basis of three items: -- that the pursuit will gain him less money, i.e.
But look ye, the only real owner of anything is its commander; and hark ye, my conscience is in this ship’s keel.- On deck!”“He waxes brave, but nevertheless obeys; most careful bravery that!” murmured Ahab, as Starbuck disappeared. We must up Burtons and break out.”“Nay, sir, not yet; I do entreat. Aye! "My students can't get enough of your charts and their results have gone through the roof." Starbuck also doesn't want to get caught up into Ahab's world which Ahab himself described as "demoniac...madness maddened".why did starbuck protest ahabs intention to kill moby dick
And so, Ahab … It were perhaps vain to surmise exactly why it was, that as respecting Starbuck, Ahab thus acted.
Because Starbuck doesn't want Ahab to kill Moby Dick because Moby Dick didn't had the fault that Ahab lost his leg.
He has the chance to go after Ahab, but he chooses not to. “What’s that he said- Ahab beware of Ahab- there’s something there!” Then unconsciously using the musket for a staff, with an iron brow he paced to and fro in the little cabin; but presently the thick plaits of his forehead relaxed, and returning the gun to the rack, he went to the deck.“Up Burtons and break out?
Yet I don’t stop to plug my leak; for who can find it in the deep-loaded hull; or how hope to plug it, even if found, in this life’s howling ale? It holds no malice or anger to Ahab or anybody. Ahab want vengeance against an animal that acts without malice. Why?
It holds no malice or anger to Ahab or anybody.
In Herman Melville’s Moby-Dlck, why does Starbuck obey Ahab even though he disagrees with him?
Starbuck thinks that Ahab's vendetta is pure folly. I’ll not have the Burtons hoisted.”Chapter 109: Ahab and Starbuck in the Cabin“Let the owners stand on Nantucket beach and outyell the Typhoons. Ahab's obsession with Moby Dick collides with a whaleship captain's responsibilities. With his snow-white new ivory leg braced against the screwed leg of his table, and with a long pruning-hook of a jack-knife in his hand, the wondrous old man, with his back to the gangway door, was wrinkling his brow, and tracing his old courses again.In Sperm-whalemen with any considerable quantity of oil on board, it is a regular semiweekly duty to conduct a hose into the hold, and drench the casks with sea-water; which afterwards, at varying intervals, is removed by the ship’s pumps. Starbuck, as the first mate of the Pequod, is one of the major characters in Melville's 'Moby-Dick'. He knows it endangers the ship and the lives of the men on it to let Ahab pursue the whale with such vehemence. I’m all aleak myself.

What we come twenty thousand miles to get is worth saving, sir.”According to usage they were pumping the ship next morning; and lo!
The whale is an animal acting out of instinct.
Shall we not understand each other better than hitherto, Captain Ahab?”“Who’s there?” hearing the footstep at the door, but not turning round to it. This time Ahab prudently chooses to defer his vengeance and gives in to Starbuck. “On deck! In the ?lm, Starbuck decides against the assassination because of Ahab’s unexpected enunciation of his own humanity, his capacity to love deeply, his su›ering passion before a larger moral cause, and his longing for release from his pursuit. Captain Ahab is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851). The oil in the hold is leaking, sir. He is the monomaniacal captain of the whaling ship Pequod.On a previous voyage, the white whale Moby Dick bit off Ahab's leg, and he now wears a prosthetic leg made out of whalebone. The whale is merely a , "brute...that simply smote (Ahab) from blindest instinct." The whale is merely a , "brute...that simply smote (Ahab) from blindest instinct."
