The definition of monomania can be found breaking it down into two parts:
"mono"- one
"mania"- an extreme enthusiasm or obsession
So, the definition is an extreme obsession with one thing. In Ahab's case, his monomania is getting his revenge on Moby Dick. This word is often used because the monomania not only ruled daily life on the whaler, it ultimately cost almost everyone their lives.

Why does Melville use Ishmael as narrator in Moby Dick and why does he make him so ambiguous and confusing?
Melville uses Ishmael as the narrator in "Moby Dick" to provide a relatable and introspective perspective on the events of the novel. By making Ishmael ambiguous and confusing, Melville adds depth to the character, allowing readers to interpret his thoughts and motivations in different ways, enhancing the complexity of the narrative. Ishmael's ambiguity also serves to emphasize the mysterious and enigmatic elements of the story, contributing to the overall theme of the unknowable nature of the sea and the whale.
