* NoNameGiven: An intriguing variation: he does give a name at the beginning of the book, but only instructs the reader to "Call me Ishmael", as opposed to saying "My name is Ishmael". This is often cited as strong evidence that Ishmael is an unreliable narrator. If you can't even be sure that he told the truth about his name, then you can't be sure that he told the truth about anything. See MeaningfulName for why he'd tell you to call him Ishmael if that isn't his real name.

* ThePhilosopher: He can't seem to speak more than two sentences before dissolving into a rant about existentialism.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: The author directly states that Ahab has come to project all of the evil in the world onto Moby Dick, as if the white whale is the living personification of evil and bad fortune. Ahab himself acknowledges that he hates the whale that crippled him not so much as a mere whale, but for what it represents: bad luck, fate, the harsh nature of a post-Eden fallen world, whatever you want to call it. Ahab's anger, as the author put it, is the sum total of all of the anger of humanity going back to when Adam was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, anger at an imperfect world in which bad things can happen. Ahab sees the white whale as the living personification of all of this, and thus, something in the flesh which he can actually fight and kill.
* SeadogPegLeg: Captain Ahab is one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s (to the point that some examples on this page are [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of either him or Long John Silver, the other TropeCodifier). Captain Ahab lost a leg during a previous whaling voyage while hunting the white whale and now has a grudge against it. In fact, his missing leg is the main force that drives his revenge plot against the titular whale. Notably, Ahab's peg leg was apparently made with ''whalebone''. In fact neither character has this trope as usually portrayed — Silver's leg is missing from the hip, and he moves about on a crutch; Ahab apparently has a mid-thigh amputation, judging by the scene in which he works out sextant shots on a specially-shaped area of his prosthesis.
* TheStarscream: Subverted; Starbuck can't bring himself to kill Ahab, even as the captain's mad quest endangers them all.
