Corpses, Fire, and Dangerous Mammals: Revisiting the Symbols in Roddam’s Television Adaptation of Moby Dick by Herman Melville
This paper aims at discussing the visual symbols as well as aspects such as the acting performances, the historical accuracy, the teleplay, and the direction in Franc Roddam’s 1998 television miniseries Moby Dick, adapted from Herman Melville’s homonymous novel (1851). The two-part television production incorporates a few symbolic elements not necessarily present in the source text. These symbols (the image of a dog, the evocation of a giant, a whale-shaped mark, a great fire and an underwater corpse) are visually associated with characters as diverse as Elijah, Ahab, Queequeg and Moby Dick. The investigation focuses thus on the possible interpretations suggested by these visual symbols and how they contribute to better our comprehension not only of these characters but also of the novel’s complex themes of death, power, evil, redemption, among others.

A producao televisiva, dividida em dois episodios, incorpora certos elementos simbolicos nao necessariamente presentes no texto-fonte.
