White Whale’s Tale

Moby Dick meets Finding Nemo. Write a “Moby Dick” fanfic from the perspective of the whale.

In Herman Melville’s classic novel, the whale Moby Dick is presented largely as a monstrous antagonist. How different would the story be if it was told from the whale’s perspective? Did it perceive the whaling ship as a threat, or was it simply trying to survive? This prompt invites you to reexamine the classic tale from a different and non-human perspective, challenging traditional perceptions and offering fresh insights into a beloved classic.
