Mumford Lewis. pt:Monomania The most tragic thing that can happen in life is not that we experience suffering and pain but that this suffering remains meaningless. Gaskell uses a gothic formulation of the disease as ‘haunting’ and ‘incessant’. But because this ‘relationship' is skewed, the rest of Ahab's world suffers.
