What does the character of starbuck represent in moby-d? joy obsession reason irrationality

reason

Explanation:

In Moby D.ick, Starbuck is the character that contrasts with Ahab. While Ahab feels ready to compromise the ship's mission, and endanger the lives of the men in order to pursue the whale, Starbuck acts like the voice of reason. He is certain Ahab is mad, he thinks following the whale is foolish and dangerous, and he disagrees with Ahab's methods and way of thinking. However, Starbuck ultimately cannot do anything to change the fateful course of the captain.

a

explanation:

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
