Reply to comment by Craygor in [OC] Inspired by movie barcodes, I made some emotional barcodes for books by Campbell_MG

The book is purely Melville showing off how smart he is. He wrote the novel with the expressed intention of proving his higher command of English than his contemporaries. The "story" and "plot" are alllll tertiary to that goal lmao

I’d argue a great story isn’t as good as a meaningful story.
