Billy Budd is a tragic story; yet can any story in which innocence is not corrupted be called tragic?

Billy's character is one of almost divine purity. Perhaps no real man has had his degree of virtue, Claggart is evil as few men are evil. Captain Vere, who is merely human, cannot contend with such forces.

The strength of Billy Budd, however, prevails over all.

Work Description

TRIALS OF THE HANDSOME SAILOR
Aboard the warship Bellipotent, the young orphan Billy Budd was called the Handsome Sailor. Billy was tall, athletic, noble looking; he was friendly, innocent, helpful and ever-cheerful. He was a fierce fighter and a loyal friend. All the men and officers liked him...

All but one: Master-at-Arms Claggart. Envious, petty Claggart plotted to make Billy's life miserable. But when a fear of mutinies swept through the fleet, Claggart realized he could do more than just torment the Handsome Sailor...

He could frame Billy Budd for treason...

Also contained in:

Excerpts

In the time before steamships, or then more frequently than now, a stroller along the docks of any considerable seaport would occasionally have his attention arrested by a group of bronzed mariners, man-of-war's men or merchant sailors in holiday attire, ashore on liberty.
