The Moral World of «Billy Budd»

by Russell L. Weaver

The Moral World of Billy Budd sees the novel not as inviting us to choose between the testament of acceptance and the testament of resistance, those views that, respectively, support and critique Captain Vere but rather as challenging us to experience the difficulty of making decisions in the world. The first part is an examination of the two testaments, the second part analyzes the three major characters.
