Best Answer

Ahab stands on the quarter-deck with his dark face turned towards the sea, his body slightly bent forward as if leaning into the chase with intense determination. His right arm is outstretched, pointing towards the horizon, his whole figure embodying a sense of unrelenting pursuit and obsession with the elusive white whale.

White flames appear at the top of three masts and his harpoon is also on fire. Starbuck sees these are negative omens and believes the burning harpoon is a sign that God is against Ahab.


Why does Starbuck object to Ahabs desire to pursue Moby-Dick?

He sees Ahabs fixation with the whale as madness. He would rather stick to just doing the job of finding and killing whales for their oil, rather than chasing one particular whale. He sees Ahab as crazy and a time waster, that he should think to act revenge on an animal that has no concept of revenge.
