No, Ishmael in "Moby-Dick" is not the same character as Ishmael in The Bible. In the novel, Ishmael is a sailor who serves as the narrator and protagonist, while in the Bible, Ishmael is a figure who appears as the son of Abraham and Hagar. The naming of the character in "Moby-Dick" may be an intentional reference to the biblical figure, but they are not the same.
