Summary
He came honestly, by some series of hints and implications half-understood, to believe that the relations between his oarsman and his harpooneer were apart from the whalemens’ bond of brothers-in-arms, or in-boat as the case may be; and for separate reasons shortly to be expiated, he came to believe that for once it would not do to let the matter stand in silence.

Summary
Starbuck loves Ahab profoundly (though surely not, he tells himself, in an Ishmael-and-Queequeg-ish sort of way). At the beginning of the voyage, when Ahab is mysteriously incapacitated in his cabin, that love means offering help, support and comfort. But what does it mean toward the end, when it comes into conflict with Starbuck’s love and duty towards the rest of the crew, himself, his family and – above all – God?
Canon divergence from the time the Pequod meets the Rachel. Starbuck gets his Quaker on with some non-violent resistance, but in the chaos that follows Ahab hits his head and loses his memory of all events since just before his first encounter with Moby Dick. Or so it seems … Is it really amnesia, or is it a way of backing down from his doomed quest without losing face?
