Melville has written a story that CANNOT be read as a simple tale of good vs. evil. What is Melville’s intent? What about the story makes it more complex than that? Within this context, write a character analysis of ONE or TWO of the three main characters: Babo, Delano, and/or Cereno. Depending on whom you choose, consider the following questions: Do you see Babo as a hero? Why or why not? How are our perceptions of him influenced by the depositions of Cereno and Delano? Why doesn’t Babo speak at his trial? Do you see Captain Delano as a hero? Why or why not? Do we ever see him from someone else’s perspective? What does he ultimately think of his own actions on the San Dominick? Considering where the mutiny takes place, do we see Cereno as a victim? Why or why not?
