Step-by-step explanation:

Read the excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby-D*ck.
It was one of those less lowering, but still, grey and gloomy enough mornings of the transition, when with a fair wind the ship was rushing through the water with a vindictive sort of leaping and melancholy rapidity, that as I mounted to the deck at the call of the forenoon watch, so soon as I leveled my glance towards the taffrail, foreboding shivers ran over me. Reality outran apprehension; Captain Ahab stood upon his quarter-deck.
The description this excerpt of "Moby D*ck" gives of Captain Ahab shows his vision of things that are just meant to be in life and how little can people do against them but just see them live them and embrace them as inevitable events, such as the wild decisions of the see over the man and their ships.
