what did you make of moby dick?

I thought it was a bit of an anticlimax but I can see why it is considered one of the greatest literary pieces ever, the descriptive and imaginative language throughout was enjoyable, if a bit long-winded

>whale's POV

it probably didn't have two rational thoughts to scrape together so was just an angry animal, it had no POV

what would the whale say?

every other whale seems to acquiesce and be killed off easily, why is the white whale so perennial? what does it represent?
