520 _a"Dauber: A Poem" by John Masefield is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The poem centers on the character Dauber, a young and aspiring painter who joins a ship's crew to learn the nuances of painting the sea and ships. Throughout the work, Dauber battles feelings of inadequacy and contempt from his shipmates while he strives to understand and eventually capture the beauty of the sea through his art. At the start of the poem, we meet Dauber, a young and slender man, who is bullied and looked down upon by the rougher seamen aboard the ship. He has aspirations of becoming a painter, dreaming of depicting the beauty of the sea and ships, yet struggles with his lack of skill and acceptance among his peers. The opening lays the groundwork for Dauber's internal conflict as he grapples with his identity, the derision he faces, and his determination to learn, alongside interactions with other shipmates, highlighting the stark contrasts between their rugged lives and his artistic aspirations.
