Short Essay Questions

1. Where do Maturin and Aubrey go so Aubrey can play cards and how did it go there for Aubrey?

2. Maturin begins to mention Herapath to Wogan as a unique case--she claims an interest because she had seen his fall. It seems simple enough to Maturin, and soon enough he discusses Herapath with Wogan freely. All along, the three maintain their innocence. What do you think it means when Maturin thinks Wogan's explanation is dimple enough?

3. The rescue of Herapath begins the novel's restrained, intricate, and playful treatment of the sexually-charged atmosphere of a man-of-war with hundreds of men and three women--one of them obviously pregnant and all of them dangerous criminals. What do you think is meant by this statement?

4. What does Maturin decide he must do over the Villiers affair and what does he do?

5. The chapter presents an interesting but routine narrative technique by introducing a letter home from Aubrey followed by a journal entry by Maturin. Both texts flow naturally and are presented in an appropriate voice; they both expose inner thoughts and deep feelings which would ordinarily not come out in common conversation. Explain why you think the author used this technique.

6. Who comes to call on Maturin after he leaves the Admiralty and what does he say?

7. What does the ship enter farther north than usual and what happens when it is there?

8. Who is Lieutenant Grant and what is Aubrey's problem with him?

9. What happens after the ship is put in order from the storm and what does Maturin discover?

10. What is Sophie doing about Aubrey's excesses?
