14.Mood: Moby-Dick shows a very light and happy mood in the beginning but turns very emotional, puzzling, mysterious, and suspenseful at times.

16.Narrator: The novel, Moby-Dick is narrated in a first person point of view by Ishmael, who is also the protagonist of the novel.
17.Paradox: The below sentences use paradoxes,
I. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. (Chapter-1)
II. Such dreary streets! blocks of blackness, not houses, on either hand, and here and there a candle, like a candle moving about in a tomb. (Chapter-2)
III. However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more’s the pity. (Chapter-5)

V. Because no man can ever feel his own identity aright except his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper element of our essences, though light be more congenial to our clayey part. (Chapter-11)
These examples show the author having inserted paradoxical ideas in several sentences.
The first example shows the idea of right and left, the second of black and white, the third of a good and a bad thing, the fourth of fair and foul, while the last one shows paradoxical ideas of darkness and light.
18.Personification: The below sentences are perfect examples of personifications,
i. There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs—commerce surrounds it with her surf. (Chapter-1)
ii. Wrapping myself in my shaggy jacket of the cloth called bearskin, I fought my way against the stubborn storm. (Chapter-7)
iii. However, a warm savory steam from the kitchen served to belie the apparently cheerless prospect before us. (Chapter-15)
These examples show as if commerce, storm, and steam have life and emotions of their own.
