Melville is symbolizing the inflexible nature of Ahab’s character.

Explanation:

In Chapter 28, we start to learn about Ahab, and it is the first time the character will truly take part in the story. We learn that he seems upset about something, but is able to hide it well behind a "serious" mask. We also learn that he looks "wasted" and that for the longest time, he remained hidden while others gave orders. Melville also highlights his inflexible character, which he compares to a solid bronze cast.
