【正文】 s room. Any place Moby Dick might appear, Ahab will see to it and never miss the chance to kill it. However, Moby Dick has a kind of mysterious and supernatural force. At that time, it is impossible for people to get to know Moby Dick. Therefore, Ahab must, first of all, have the courage and perseverance to endure all sorts of unfortunate things in this struggle. And then he is able to fight with a much more powerful enemy to defend his own dignity. Ahab dares to break the convention to eradicate Moby Dick, which is much more powerful than him. It forms a sharp contrast with the Christian coward Starbuck. While facing the powerful Moby Dick, Starbuck has chosen the method of a stepbystep concession. In the course of struggling with Moby Dick, we can see his retreat everywhere. But Ahab displays that he dares to do whatever he wants to do. I39。s lonely cry with wails. Moby Dick was just like an invisible wall. It had imprisoned stubbornly this old person above the vast sea, while this pitiful man had already experienced quite a lot. For many times, Ahab closed himself in the captain cabin and thought about how to take revenge to Moby Dick. Under such circumstances, how can one let the old captain not feel wretched and helpless? Due to the pain caused by the loss of the leg, Ahab could not walk out of the humiliation of loss of dignity。 Van Doren declared in The Cambridge History of American Literature that MobyDick was ―one of the greatest ocean legendary novels in the literature of the whole world‖, which had been a great evaluation to the book. In Psychology and Literature, Carl G Jung believes that MobyDick is one of the greatest American novels. Obviously, we can know that the MobyDick has wined the high place in American literature. At present, many people have done some researches into MobyDick such as Huang Jing’s the tragic significance of the whale, Bai xihan’s on tragic essence of MobyDick, Cui Lingyun’s MobyDick: Lust and Revenge. But they mainly stay on the study of the symbolic significance and the tragic conduct with fewer analyses on Ahab’s selfesteem and struggle to destiny. They give a negative attitude towards what Ahab has done. They have ignored that losing face leads to all of Ahab’s crazy activities. In The Culture Interpretation of the Symbolic Significance in MobyDick Chen Qiuhong has mentioned that Ahab is a hero whose selfesteem cannot be conquered. Nevertheless, she did not make a further study on it. This paper is aimed to analyze and appreciate Ahab’s belief to selfesteem and struggle through his personality, behavior description, language description, and psychological description. This article will base on two aspects of the leading character Ahab: one is that he defends the selfesteem and the other is that he struggles with fate. At the same time, I refer to Zhu Guangqian39。在悲劇的背后 ， 蘊含著主人公對自尊的捍衛(wèi)與命運的抗爭。 10 外文應用 能力 能閱讀、翻譯一定量的本專業(yè)外文資料、外文摘要和外文參考書目（特殊專業(yè)除外）體現一定的外語水平。 5 實評總分 成績等級 指導教師評審意見： 指導教師簽名： 說明：評定成績分為優(yōu)秀、良好、中等、及格、不及格五個等級，實評總分 90—100分記為優(yōu)秀， 80— 89分記為良好， 70— 79分記為中等， 60— 69分記為及格， 60分以下記為不及格。 10 研究方案的 設計能力 整體思路清晰；研究方案合理可行。在追捕白鯨的過程中，無論是警告還是預兆，亞哈都表現出毫不畏懼，這種對命運與神明的抗爭在小說中淋漓盡致的表現出來。 研究方法 ： 本文通過大量文本解讀、分析、歸納等方法，利用相關的理論知識就論點展開論述， 并引申出自己的觀點。因此我期望通過對亞哈的人物剖析，能進一步增加人們對亞哈的認識和了解。本文選題意義在于通過分析解讀這一人物形象，從而肯定他為捍衛(wèi)自尊而勇于抗掙的悲劇英雄形象。盡我所知，除文中特別加以標注和致謝的地方外，不包含其他人或組織已經發(fā)表或公布過的研究成果，也不包含我為獲得 及其它教育機構的學位或學歷而使用過的材料。本人完全意識到本聲明的法律結果由本人承擔 。國內外研究者對于他的評價眾說紛紜 ，大多研究者認為亞哈是“惡魔”、“瘋子”。 作者麥爾維爾的簡介 作品的主要內容 第二部分：分析亞哈人物性格特征以及對造成亞哈偏執(zhí)、瘋狂的原因進行分析。 主要參考資料： [1] Herman Melville.

The only outlet is to try to retrieve his dignity by this kind of crazy revenge. A Brave and Resolute Hero –Ahab Among Ahab’s personalities, he has the side of a paranoid and crazy man, but he is also a brave, strongdetermined hero. However, it is obvious in the novel that, while struggling with fate, Ahab’s really powerless. His revolt will inevitably lead to his and all the crew39。s heroic spirit shows us human’s great faith and noble spirit. Regarding the Selfesteem as Life Before Ahab lost one of his legs, depending on his courageous, quickwitted and tenacious devotion, he had bee a brave and resourceful, resolute captain in a whaling ship, without having to scruple about anything. However, when Moby Dick got away one of his legs, it gave him not merely the physical pain. More importantly, it was the suffering of the spirit and the feeling of the defeat of selfesteem that had hurt Ahab very much. Because of the hatred of losing his leg, it has been very hard for Ahab to raise his head to reexamine himself with selfesteem. Captain Ahab is superior to others. Undoubtedly, to Ahab, the selfesteem is even more important than his own life. Mustai Karim once said: Once a person loses his selfesteem, he would not be a man but a creepy ghost. [8] (p1583) Therefore, Ahab should fight for his selfesteem. Thus he is seized by a fanatical desire for revenge. Whaling is no longer his goal, his real aim is to kill Moby Dick and restore his selfesteem. Just as what Chen Qiuhong writ
