	tracy.rtf
		Queequeg is introduced in the first fourth of the novel by Ishmael, whose initial fascination with his seemingly cryptic actions and mannerisms soon develops into feelings of an ambiguously sexual/fraternal nature.
		On the sea, Queequeg and the rest of the crew have been spatially removed and placed outside the realm of the nation as a physical land, beyond America as a site where opposition and misunderstanding between races is commonly expressed in institutions such as slavery.
		It is evident that Melville's unconventional portrayal of Queequeg, whose presence is crucial yet inconsistent throughout the novel, indicates his unwillingness to pigeon-hole him either as a novelistic convention or as a racial stereotype.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Moby Dick - Full Summary and Analysis
		Queequeg sits at the head of the table, having brought his harpoon to the breakfast table and using it during the meal.
		The irony of Queequeg's tale is that, having traveled to America and lived among the supposedly civilized, he has in fact become defiled and unfit for his royal position; this calls into questions definitions of savagery and civilization, for Queequeg presumably becomes a savage to his people as he adopts more European customs.
		For Ishmael, Queequeg is his closest advisor and companion, and in fact takes an active role in Ishmael's life, as his 'executor.' The rationale for the return to their relationship is the increasingly dire atmosphere on the Pequod, in which Ishmael faces his own mortality.

		Queequeg differs from the other three by being a non-white from the Pacific, outside the political and geographical purview of the US.
		Queequeg's tattoed body also implies that the sense of the universe is beyond the grasp of any single religion or belief-system.

	Heroes of the Gem - Queequeg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Queequeg's familiar is named Trouble, an arctic fox with whom he bonded after the fall of the Deceiver.
		Despite an almost comical appearance and disarming naivete, Queequeg is a proficient spellcaster and often has to be restrained by his companions from tossing fireballs and lightning bolts at the slightest provocation.
		Queequeg's strange nature and heritage made him stand out amongst the Heroes, and he is credited with single-handedly (and rather inadvertantly) causing a demand for Ice People goods and trinkets in the Anotrian Empire in the post-war years.

	Racist Moby Dick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Queequeg's personal characteristics as the rescuer, while worthy of examination, are secondary when compared with the more important role he played in the drownings.
		Queequeg is used to establish the bias, or lack thereof, on the part of the author.
		Keep in mind also that while Queequeg has a high status on the whaling voyage, on the whole the life of the whaler was not a high status position in society.

		Thus, Bildad and Peleg, the instantiated voices of orthodoxy, attempt to exclude Queequeg from participation in social and economic activity on the basis of religious doctrine, that of conversion and practice, that of Christian fellowship.
		Ishmael's joining Queequeg in worship, therefore, not only shows the intended universality of his religion, but the basic commitment to the self, to obeying the self rather than disobeying, and to tolerance and humanity, as Ishmael is one who seeks to please rather than to appall.
		Queequeg's religious point of view receives its best expression in the chapters "A Bosom Friend" and "Ramadan." Ishmael describes what Queequeg's worship entails: kindling shavings, offering a burnt biscuit or some food to the idol, and bowing before the idol and kissing its nose (58).

	CliffsNotes::Moby-Dick:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Although Queequeg is a heathen, by Christian definition, Ishmael increasingly notices the man’s independent dignity, good heart, extraordinary courage, and generous spirit.
		Queequeg’s body is covered with tattoos, and Ishmael initially assumes that the aborigine must be a cannibal.
		In fact, almost immediately Ishmael recognizes Queequeg’s noble character, noting that he “treated me with so much civility and consideration, while I was guilty of great rudeness.” Queequeg is a synthesis of all racial and ethnic characteristics; that is, he is a symbol of all mankind.

	SparkNotes: Moby-Dick: Chapters 10–21
		Queequeg is a native of a South Pacific island called Kokovoko, which is “not down on any map; true places never are.” The king’s son, he desired to leave the island to see the world and, he claims, to learn about Christianity.
		Queequeg tells Ishmael stories about the first time that he used a wheelbarrow (he picked it up instead of wheeling it) and about a white captain who attended a wedding feast on Kokovoko and made a fool of himself.
		Queequeg flips the man around in the air to rebuke him and is subsequently scolded by the captain.

	Chapter cx - QUEEQUEG IN HIS COFFIN
		Not a man of the crew but gave him up; and, as for Queequeg himself, what he thought of his case was forcibly shown by a curious favor he asked.
		When the last nail was driven, and the lid duly planed and fitted, he lightly shouldered the coffin and went forward with it, inquiring whether they were ready for it yet in that direction.
		Many spare hours he spent, in carving the lid with all manner of grotesque figures and drawings; and it seemed that hereby he was striving, in his rude way, to copy parts of the twisted tattooing on his body.

	Article by Andrew Fieldsend
		Queequeg is too profane for Ishmael's sacred language and the New Englander remains tongue-tied, silently staring at the Polynesian, fascinated by that which horrifies him.
		Queequeg is "contrary to the classic images of the finished, completed man, cleansed, as it were, of all the scoriae of birth and development,"[7] which in this case is Ishmael.
		Queequeg also supports himself by peddling embalmed human heads, and we are reminded throughout the novel that he is a cannibal; he has received nourishment from human flesh.

		Queequeg explains that the young man he threw in the air was a only a "small fish-e" and that he only kills big whales.

	Moby Dick by Herman Melville: Chapter 12 - The Literature Page
		Queequeg was a native of Rokovoko, an island far away to the West and South.
		When a new-hatched savage running wild about his native woodlands in a grass clout, followed by the nibbling goats, as if he were a green sapling; even then, in Queequeg's ambitious soul, lurked a strong desire to see something more of Christendom than a specimen whaler or two.
		There was excellent blood in his veins--royal stuff; though sadly vitiated, I fear, by the cannibal propensity he nourished in his untutored youth.

		On the occasion in question, Queequeg figured in the Highland costume Ð a shirt and socks Ð in which to my eyes, at least, he appeared to uncommon advantage; and no one had a better chance to observe him, as will presently be seen.
		Queequeg was my own inseparable twin brother; nor could I any way get rid of the dangerous liabilities which the hempen bond entailed.
		They meant Queequeg's best happiness, I admit; but in their hasty zeal to befriend him, and from the circumstance that both he and the sharks were at times half hidden by the blood-muddled water, those indiscreet spades of their would come nearer amputating a leg than a tail.
