In his madness and egocentrism, tragically, he takes his ship and most of his crew with him. In contrast to Ahab's self-centered defiance is the theme of friendship, or camaraderie, which is characterized primarily through Ishmael and Queequeg. The two meet under awkward circumstances.

the theme of Moby Dxck is friendship through the special bond between the narrator of the novel, Ishmael, and Queequeg, a man native to an island of cannibals.
