Suppose The novel Moby-Dick was first published in London under the title The Whale on October 18, 1851. It was rewritten and expanded under the title Moby-Dick for the first American edition, published on November 14, 1851. The novel details the ill-fated voyage of a whaling ship captained by Ahab who is obsessed with hunting the white whale Moby Dick.
Can we infer that "Ahab successfully hunts Moby Dick in the novel."? Yes, no, or maybe?
