In search for the villain in Herman Melville's "billy budd, sailor”

Abstract EN

Billy Budd, Sailor* is the last novel penned by Herman Melville.

This work is posthumously published.

In this novel, Melville, once more, as it is known about him, is going to probe deeply inside the human's mind and soul.

He is concerned with the problems of human being on the seas and oceans to generalize the sense of neither equality among men who came from dissimilar countries and cultures declaring that there is neither superiority nor inferiority among people of different cultures and ancestry.

Their efforts decide who the most important person is and who has less importance in the rank of the work.

The sailors share the same circumstances to save themselves from storms, sharks and other mysterious forces, but still the innate instincts rooted inside each one of them lead some not only to control and subject but to arrest and murder each other.
