Captain David Porter and Melville’s Anti-colonialism

Melville criticizes Captain Porter for his colonialist ambition in the South Seas although he is heavily indebted to Porter’s Journal for his borrowings. But close comparative reading of Journal and Melville’s Typee shows that Melville’s critical reading of Porter in his transactions with the native people serves to form his own assertions and subsequently his descriptive form. At the same time, closer reading reveals Melville is deeply, although ironically twisted, inspired by him to conceptualize the thematic construct of his first novel: an idea of civilizers as intruders into Eden.
