Queecoffin! MSnider, Shundt, ATaylor
Queequeg is a type of Christ figure. His death brings Ishmael life. His coffin, that which represents him, is what carries Ishmael to safety. This is ironic because Queequeg is a pagan and is given a godly role. It is also ironic because at the beginning of the novel, Queequeg was trying to kill Ishmael, and at the end he is ultimately the one who saves him.

yall are amazing.
Interesting. I don't think the Christ figure argument works but he certainly does redeem Ishmael's life.
5/5
