Jaws: Posting Stuff While I Watch

Worth noting also that in the novel

Spoiler:

Quint is not eaten, but instead gets caught up in a rope and dragged out of the boat by the shark, in a direct homage to Captain Ahab - so Moby Dick was bigtime on Benchley's mind when he wrote his book. If in fact the shark were to have eaten both Hooper and Quint in rapid succession, it would have seemed a little ridiculous. This problem comes up in Jaws 2, with the number of teens eaten in a single afternoon suggests that this shark is literally unbelieavably hungry.
