Herman Melville wrote "Billy Budd, Sailor" as a reflection on the complexities of innocence, justice, and morality. It explores themes of duty, authority, and the clash between good and evil in a maritime setting. Melville drew inspiration from his own experiences at sea and the historical context of the Napoleonic Wars.
