In his novel of Moby Dick, Melville reveals an extraordinary one which are full with emotive words and poetic language. His closeness with nature is reflected on Moby Dick. The sea gives him a power to reach universal idea for human being. As we find many philosophical commentary in this novel which conceives the truth for us. From the description and the explanation in this discussion, I can conclude that nature is the inspiration source in Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
