Key words: Selfesteem, struggle, Moby Dick, Ahab, heroic tragedy 1 Introduction The theme of tragedy is of vital significance in the world literature and has been vividly represented and frequently discussed in the development of the tragic literature. Regarding the tragic literature, we can trace back to Greek. We would find that the theme of tragedy is popular in any period, and MobyDick is a typical tragic novel among those literatures. MobyDick is the masterpiece of Melville, the wellknown American romantic novelist in the 19th century. MobyDick was published in of the multiplicity of the themes and the plexity of the structure。 severe judgments and censure when it came out. Athenaeum of London, ever stated that MobyDick belonged to the Bedlam literature of the worst school” [1] (p458) Henceforth no one has ever mentioned it and MobyDick is neglected in the literary arena. Not until the anniversary of Melville39。 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。s heroic tragedy. In part one I give a brief introduction to the whole paper. In part two, I will give a brief introduction of the author and MobyDick. Therefore, readers will be able to understand the writer and his works easily. The part three is focused on analyzing the leading character’s personality. It is the personality of the leading character that leads to the tragic end. Through Ahab’s behaviors and words, it is clear that he struggles with destiny and defends his self esteem at all time. This chapter would help the readers know about Ahab in a new way. At the same time, it helps to explain why Ahab bees a crazy man. The part four would talk about the performances of struggle. It includes two aspects, namely, the performances of struggle on psychological activity and the performances of struggle with the society. From this chapter, we would know that Ahab is a real
