I've said that there is strong character development. And I think it is quite applicable in the case of Ishmael who is narrating the story to us. Ishmael the narrator is a different person than the forecastle Ishmael who we meet on the deck of the Pequod. Only after gaining a lot of stormy experiences and then combining with it a liitle peace of mind which is necessary to jot down those experiences into a brilliant narrative, Ishmael presented us the story.
