Question

Which best explains the symbolism behind Melville’s use of the word “brand” to describe the scar on Ahab’s body in Chapter 28 of Moby-*ick?

Answer 1

I think the best similarities of the two of them is that both writers wrote about things and events that are going on in their country and the comparison of them is that American writer wrote about war, racism and slavery, and politics in a current time while European writer are all about religions. I hope this would help 

Answer 2
