Some of Queequeg's goals include being at peace with God, experiencing the world at its fullest, and while still learning about the aspects of the Christian world, practicing rituals and consulting gods that are native to his tribe's religion. Apart from his spiritual being, he has obvious goals such as setting out with Ishmael (which his small, wooden idol Yojo entrusted in him) on a whaling voyage and to kill whales, as this was something he was trained and experienced with in his childhood. Of course one of his (and every man's) goals is to make money, which he has graciously earned by impressing the officers of the Pequod with his flawless harpooning skills. Queequeg's major moral lesson in life is probably to live a peaceful life, put himself before others, help the society, and accept death.
