What the fuck is his problem?
Melville already lays into him better than I could.
He's a dispassionate Christfag wagecuck who thinks based old Ahab is a blaspheming psycho who's going to carry them to oblivion, and he's right, but still. When they introduced him I thought he would be one of the cooler characters but Stubb is the best officer on board after Ahab.
I have about 70 pages of it left. I just finished the part where he forges his new harpoon for Moby Dick and baptizes it in blood, I had a raging boner the whole passage.
>"Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris, sed in nomine diaboli!" deliriously howled Ahab, as the malignant iron scorchingly devoured the baptismal blood.
