A 4 page essay that discusses the structure and message of this classic novel. In Billy Budd, novelist Herman Melville pictures two archetypal characters, his protagonist Billy and Billy's archenemy John Claggart. These two characters are diametrically opposed in their views toward life. Billy accepts everyone at face value, and wants to believe the best of people. Billy simply wants to do his job and have others like him. Claggart, on the other hand, superimposes his own view of human behavior on the actions of others, seeing evil ulterior motives where none actually exist. He is a man who has given in completely to the darker side of human nature. By representing pure innocence (Billy) as opposed to pure malice (Claggart), Melville creates a cautionary tale that portrays the danger of being innocent in a world where there is evil. No additional sources cited.
