Who Else Noticed this About A Series Of Unfortunate Events The End?

Question

when Klaus and Sunny and Violet get to the Island and the Islander says my name is Ishmael that is actually from Moby Dick who else noticed?

Answer 1

Yeah. Ishmael's name is taken from Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick. In reference to Moby-Dick, Ishmael often asks people to 'call me Ish', a parody of Moby-Dick's opening sentence: 'Call me Ishmael'.

The Castaways
The end of The End features several castaways who live on the island ruled by Ishmael. Like Ishmael, who is named after the narrator of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, most or all of them seem to be named after real people or fictional characters connected with shipwrecks or the sea. They include:

Alonso (named after a character in Shakespeare's The Tempest.)
Ariel (named after a character in Shakespeare's The Tempest.)
Jonah and Sadie Bellamy (named after the biblical Jonah; a character in The Adventures of Sadie, aka Our Girl Friday, a 1953 film about a shipwrecked girl; and Samuel "Black Sam" Bellamy, an 18th-century pirate who was shipwrecked off Cape Cod.)
Rabbi Bligh (named after Bounty captain William Bligh.)
Brewster (named after Maud Brewster, a character in Jack London's The Sea-Wolf.)
Byam (named after Roger Byam, a fictional character in the novel Mutiny on the Bounty.)
Mrs. Caliban (named after a character in Shakespeare's The Tempest.)
Calypso (named after the sea nymph Calypso from Greek mythology.)
Erewhon (named after the utopia in Samuel Butler's book of the same name.)
Professor Fletcher (named after Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian.)
Finn (named after Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.)
Friday (named after a character in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.)
Dr. Kurtz (named after a character in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.)
Larsen (named after Wolf Larsen, a character in Jack London's The Sea-Wolf.)
Ms. Marlow (named after a character in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.)
Madame Nordoff (named after Charles Nordhoff, co-author of Mutiny on the Bounty.)
Omeros (possibly named after the Greek epic poet Homer, whose Iliad and Odyssey deal extensively with sea voyages and shipwrecks; another possibility is the 1990 poem of the same name by Derek Walcott, which is partly a retelling of the Odyssey set in the Caribbean.)
Mr. Pitcairn (named after the Pitcairn Islands where the Bounty mutineers eventually settled.)
Robinson (named after the title character in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.)
Sherman (named after General William Tecumseh Sherman, who survived two shipwrecks.)
Weyden (named after Humphrey Van Weyden, a character in Jack London's The Sea-Wolf.)
Willa (possibly named after writer Willa Cather who refers to a shipwreck in a notable quotation.)
