The three works considered in Hierarchy and Mutuality in Paradise
Lost, Moby-Dick and The Brothers Karamazov display a striking
overlap in their concern with hierarchy and mutuality as parallel
and often intersecting way of how human beings relate to each other
and to divine forces in the universe. All three contain adversarial
protagonists whose stature often commands admiration from audiences
less ready to confront their motives and deeds than to be swayed by
their verbal harangues. Why the quest for personal power should
disturb the serenity of mutual love with such compelling force is
an issue that Milton, Melville and Dostoevsky address with varying
degrees of self-consciousness. In their texts the seeds of disaster
seem to sprout in both spiritual and barren soil, sometimes
nurtured by a hierarchy that gave them birth, at others in reaction
against a hierarchy that would stifle their energy. The purpose of
this study is to analyze the origins and the consequences of such
tensions.
