『Benito Cereno』based on the revolt that negroes raised on ship in slave-trading days, has a similarity of Melville's other works. Color grey thickly imbued in the introductive chapter heralds symbolic meanings to the whole contents, with the creation of ambiguity and mystery. 『Benito Cereno』unfolds with the downward spiral fall, in which Delano is destined to suffer from endless frustration and despair, ultimately facing the limitation of human faculty. Through such experience, he realizes that things in the universe are managed and controlled not by human faculty, but by the Nature, or a God. That is, he was unconsciously saved by the mysterious power of Nature or of a transcendental being similar to that in 『Benito Cereno』conveying Melville's viewpoint of nature, racial con-flict with the revelation of the dark side of western society through the polarity, is considered as another Melville's novels searching for truth with-in the human condition.
