In Reply to: Is Bob Dylan guilty of plagiarism? posted by Mike K on November 29, 2021 at 20:21:27:
Excerpt from Rolling Stone article,
"In all, Pitzer said she found at least 20 sentences in Dylan's lecture that resembled the SparkNotes entry on Moby-Dick. Representatives for Dylan, the Nobel Prize committee and SparkNotes did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
In collecting the instances where Dylan seemed to crib from SparkNotes, Pitzer noted where certain key phrases appeared on the site but not in the book. For instance, Dylan says of Captain Ahab, "He calls Moby the emperor, sees him as the embodiment of evil." While "embodiment of evil" never appears in Melville's novel, SparkNotes says of Ahab, "he sees the whale as the embodiment of evil.""
