What are the conflicts in Moby-Dick?

Answer 1

The conflict as I see in it are the devils and the demons that plague his revenge against the whale and his conscience to save his crew. Metaphorically I believe he toils with his self confidence/arrogance and motivation to succeed at all costs. The win, win situation. A masterpiece.

Answer 2

Some of the conflicts in "Moby-Dick" include the internal struggle of Captain Ahab against the whale that took his leg, the relentless pursuit of the white whale despite warnings and dangers, and the clash between the crew members' loyalty to their captain and their own sense of self-preservation. These conflicts drive the narrative and explore themes of revenge, obsession, and the destructive nature of unchecked ambition.
