Version
1.0
Billy Budd, by Herman Melville.
Billy Budd is an allegory of good vs. evil, with
innocence standing by as the helpless victim. A naive
young man is pressed into the service of the British
Navy at the very end of the 18th century. He views
first hand the cruelty and extreme brutality of the
ship sadistic master-at-arms, and accidentally kills
him. He is then tried for his murder.
