- W8972615 abstract "Herman Melville's Budd {An Inside Narrative) continues to encourage disagreement; critics debate whether work is finished, whether it has organic unity, and whether it represents Melville's final acceptance or rejection of life. The remarks of two scholars in particular seem to me worth pursuing in an attempt to offer a suggestion for inter? preting this most puzzling masterpiece. Both Ray B. West and Paul Brodtkorb, Jr. draw attention to topic of art in narrative. West argues that the new myth in concluding ballad Billy in Dar? bies bellies sails . . . supplies common man with a means of confronting facts, not only of Billy's death, but of his own. ... It is simple creative act which pierces mask of falsehood and error, which sees man's existence as an heroic submission to fate, but which is in constant rebellion against those forms which result in man's injustice to man.1 The poem may be said to represent primitive, but universal, ability of man to temper harsh facts of death, to come to terms with nature, through art.2 In contrast, Brodtkorb describes poem as perhaps more nearly 'right' in its intense human intimacy with [than official news report], but also finally 'wrong' in sort of personality it attributes to its speaker, allowing him puns. . . .3 He finds work architecturally unfinished because it explicitly tries to deal with 'fact,' but, as Vere, for one, knows, while artistic conventions will neatly organize world of facts, they do so in human temporality only by simplifying and, therefore, falsifying our full sense of that world.4 While both scholars serve interests of criticism by focussing on topic of art, neither takes a full view of either Billy in Darbies or of poem's relation to narrative process in Budd. I suggest that poem embodies meaning implicit in narrator's activity, and, indeed, in all genuine art. To recognize function of poem is, finally, to see narrator's tone not as one of ironic disdain or contempt, but as one indicative of humility as he submits to artistic process." @default.
