"A second reason for the greater size of the rewritten [Moby Dick] is that its thesis cannot be simply, or even clearly stated. It has to be "rendered", to use Henry James's famous word, and the rendering involves indirections and ambiguities that carry the reader more and more deeply into the maze of Truth. At the same time, what Melville had to say was in some aspects so blasphemous, so utterly shocking to the religious sensibilities of his contemporaries that he dared not come out with it directly. On top of his proliferating symbols, he imposed a style of jocular evasion, of double and triple talk, of sly hints and impudent ironies, which made it difficult to hold him directly responsible for his most audacious statements and the impieties they express. Not only was he uneasy about speaking out directly; he was also oppressed by the realization that no artistic communication is more than a fraction of what the artist intends. His book is difficult and complex because Melville does not reduce the dilemmas of the world and of life to childish simplicities. In Moby Dick he is dealing with matters of profound mystery. Melville himself was concerned because he was unable to express all he meant, or even to bare all of his deepest thoughts. Moby Dick is a story contrived to explore and exemplify an idea. The journey in quest of Moby Dick is an intellectual journey in quest of a truth."
