The origin of the 'Moby Dick' story lies in Herman Melville's time spent among whalers and his knowledge of the whaling industry. He heard numerous stories from sailors about their encounters with whales. He was also influenced by the literature of his time. Melville wanted to write a story that not only told about the adventure of whaling but also delved into deeper themes such as man's relationship with nature, the concept of fate, and the power of obsession. The figure of Moby Dick itself was likely inspired by reports of particularly large and difficult - to - catch whales that were part of whaling lore.
