Moby Dick resonates with Ahab's chase of the whale which stimulates the spiritual quest, revenge, and emerging industrialization in America. It has designed the idea of a relationship between nature and human beings. Ahab manipulates his crewmates only to take revenge on the white whale that took off his leg in the previous sail. But through this insight of chase, Melville has explored the harsh situation of slavery in early America. He has portrayed the condition of slaves by figuring the characters in a contrary position. Melville used the colours to introduce different aspects of slaves and slavery in America while the settlement. This paper evaluates Melville's effort to picturise the socio-cultural and psychological condition of the slaves during the early settlement of America. This study would enable us to know the idea of “how the theme of entrapment and the liberation of the slaves’ substantiates the notions of the self-reliance and American dream while demonstrating the history of America”.
