Read this excerpt from chapter 41 of Moby-D*ck using comprehension strategies.

What is the meaning of this excerpt? Though Ahab is physically weakened, his insanity has strengthened his will for revenge. Ahab’s anger has increased his physical strength, and he expects to do battle. Ahab has always been somewhat mad, but his insanity has recently flourished. Though Ahab has lost his ability to seek revenge, he still harbors anger and resentment.
