5. Benito Cereno By Melville ("Ch 2 Summary" and "A Closer Look")

Updated: Jun 16, 2021


Make sure to start with episode 1


Here I give a quick summary of chapter 2: The Gordian Knot. Then we dive into the mind of Captain Amasa Delano.


One of the key values of reading great literature is the ability to enter the consciousness of another person. This is something we are unable to do in our daily lives. In Captain Delano you may find an unnerving similarity to the way that your mind (and mine!) works.
