Paramètres

En savoir plus sur le livre

The narrative centers on an unnamed Wall Street attorney who hires Bartleby, a scrivener whose initial diligence turns into passive resistance, famously stating, "I would prefer not to." As Bartleby withdraws from work demands, the narrator struggles to understand and accommodate his behavior, leading to themes of empathy, isolation, and the human condition in a mechanized society. Melville's exploration of alienation and dehumanization in the workplace, combined with psychological depth and subtle humor, makes this story a lasting critique of societal norms and a symbol of existential resistance.
