    Both entities represent Captain Ahab. The source describes 'ahab' as the 'monomaniacal captain of the Pequod' who 'pursues Leviathan' with a 'harpoon'. Candidate 1 is 'captain ahab', also described as 'monomaniac', 'captain' of the 'Pequod', who 'lost leg to a whale', and is obsessed with 'Moby Dick'. The properties and relationships are highly consistent, including the associated weapon and the central obsession.

    Both entities represent Captain Ahab. The source describes 'ahab' as the 'monomaniacal captain of the Pequod' who 'pursues Leviathan'. Candidate 2 is 'ahab', described as 'the captain of the whaling ship', 'monomaniacal', 'obsessed with Moby Dick', and having 'lost_limb: leg' with an 'ivory leg'. The labels, types, roles, and core characteristics (monomania, obsession, lost leg) are all consistent with the source.
