From Moby-Dick:
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

@ProfessorDreadNaught Yeah I think Khan quoted Moby Dick being fully aware of the fact that he was paralleling Captain Ahab. He viewed his personal quest for vengeance as something he simply had to do. Regardless of the potential for death and failure.
-
this sounds like obama
-
@Ripley44224 Or was it Milton? Oh well.
-
Kahn's parting words to Kirk before being marooned on Ceti Alpha 5: "Have you ever read Melville, Captain?"
-
Yes, totally. Except that Khan had already shown his hand by trying to take over the world in the eugenics wars, before abandoning his followers and escaping on the 'Botany Bay'. Then he tried to screw over Kirk. But apart from that I totally agree.

@oneleggedspider good vs evil? Moby Dick is about man vs beast and man vs himself.
-
Ricardo Montalban!
-
Was the pace accelerated? It just seems like he tossed his way up that console a bit jerky.
-
This so reminds me of Captain Neron..In my opinion..Khan and Neron are to me victims of lost..Therefor not villains
-
one of the best villains of all time

It's interesting that he quotes this, and yet doesn't see the fault in it.

@crazydavythe1st It was his last act and breath. It was a conscious decision. His choice was simple, hate or repent. He thought he was going to win. The Genesis effect is much more potent than a spear to a giant whale.

Khan's own obsessive quest to destroy Kirk, even at the expense of his own crew mirrors perfectly Ahab's obsession with killing the white whale. I imagine the book's inclusion in the film was far from accidental.

Precisely why I posted this clip. It sums up the antagonist position in this film and story. What books or references do the same for the heroes?
