A review by morganhamernik
Benito Cereno by Herman Melville
3.0
Read for ENGL 3005W
Interesting story with a ton of tension, but I HATED Melville’s writing. How many commas can one put in a single sentence? Some parts went completely over my head because of his pretentious language. It’s quite the example of an unreliable narrator, though. I found myself asking: Is this a straight-up racist story or a critique of slavery? I can’t really tell.
