Ⅰ.American Puritanism:
1. Definition: • A. Puritanism is the practice and beliefs of the Puritans.ame the founding fathers of the American nation were quite a few of them. • B. They were hard work, prudent and self-restrained. They were a group of serious ,religious people, advocating highly religious and moral principles. Puritans believed in predestination and original sin. • C. As a culture heritage, Puritanism did have a profound influence on the early American mind and it had a enduring influence on American literature. One of the manifestations was the fact that American Romantic authors tended more to moralize than their European brothers.
3.Symbols in Moby Dick
B. Moby Dick, the white whale is capable of many interpretations: evil or goodness, or both. Its whiteness is paradoxical color, signifying as it does death and corruption as well as purity, innocence and youth. For the character Ahab, however, the whale represents only evil. Moby Dick is like a wall, hiding some unknown, mysterious things behind. Ahab wills the whole crew on the Pequod to join him in the pursuit of the big whale so as to pierce the wall, to root out the evil, but only to be destroyed by evil, in this case, by his own consuming desire, his madness. For the author, as well as for the reader and Ishmael, the narrator, It represents the final mystery of the universe.
