Everything is a "character" in this story about the part that man plays in the universe. The shoreline, the people that are described, the weather, tattoos, the wind, the diversity of places the crew comes from, the sharks, the way the men are situated on the boat , the Pequod, the names of the other vessels, the whales, the coffin, Quequeg and his departure from the living and return, the stars and the heavens, the jobs that each sailor performs that unite to run the entire ship as a whole, the earth, life as seen as a force that travels like paths on our planet the earth as symbolized by the paths taken by the whales in their routes during their lives, all of the emotions and feelings of each man and their importance and what they each contribute to their existance while here on earth.

The entire ship and those aboard and off play contributors to the story because they represent all of the forces in nature and man.
