This proves John Green is a genius. Metaphor is the greatest poetic device, and Augustus rises to the level of gods by ascending poetry into reality.

“Just be yourself” is genuinely a more cohesive reading of the book than “you can’t take revenge on an animal” like Lisa says.

it reall isnt. Ishmael and the book as a whole is completely fine with killing animals and even finds the whole ordeal noble. The Big Dick is more a metaphor for the universe, for the whole. Ahab spitting in the face of the sun if it looks at him wrong and all. Homer is unironically more correct.
