yes. the first line in the story is Call me Ishmael. so his name is Ishmael * This answer is wrong. Ishmael is the narrator. Ahab isn't the narrator. His first name isn't mentioned.

The whale Moby Dick never actually dies; only captain Ahab, who has been chasing him, does. Just before Ahab drowns while still trying to stab the whale, he yells "From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!". His obsession drives him to his death and still he does not manage to kill Moby Dick. Epic Fail.

Captain Ahab in Moby Dick; "From Hell's heart I stab at thee! For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."Also notably quoted in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan; as the last words of Khan Noonan Singh
The last paragraph in Moby Dick is: The whale goes down again, and Ahab rows close to the ship. He tells Tashtego to find another flag and nail it to the main masthead, as the Pequod's flag has somehow been removed from its usual spot. The boats sight the Moby Dick again and go after him. Moby Dick turns around and heads for the Pequod at full speed. He smashes the ship, which goes down without its captain. The ship, Ahab realizes, is the second hearse of Fedallah's prophecy, since it entombs its crew in "American" wood. Impassioned, Ahab is now determined to strike at Moby Dick with all of his power. After darting the whale, Ahab is caught around the neck by the flying line and dragged under the sea---the final element of Fedallah's prophesy. Tashtego, meanwhile, still tries to nail the flag to the ship's spar as it goes down. He catches a sky-hawk in mid-hammer, and the screaming bird, folded in the flag, goes down with everything else. The vortex from the sinking Pequod pulls the remaining harpoon boats and crew down with it.
This is a quote from the book 'Moby Dick', by Herman Melville.The full quote is ..."To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"Herman Melville quotes (American short-story Writer, Novelist and Poet. Best known for his novels of the sea, including his masterpiece, Moby Dick. 1819-1891)
"On the second day, a sail drew near, nearer, and picked me up at last. It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."
It's a Melville guote, perhaps Captain Ahab in Mobey Dick.
