Herman Melville's "Bartleby, The Scrivener": Behavior
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Peculiar behavior amidst a boring, uninspiring backdrop of the workplace, Herman Melville's Bartleby, The Scrivener addresses the very essence of human acceptance. The seemingly quiet and pastoral composition ultimately gives way to another, sometimes hidden side of the issue: dealing with conflict between human beings. The exact manner in which Melville reveals this conflict is an integral component to the author's overall mystique, utilizing such literary techniques as dialogue, imagery, figurative language and interpretation. At first, one may not plainly recognize Melville's deeper assertions beyond his telltale quiet and pastoral direction; however, there is no denying the fact that the undercurrent of human conflict is more than apparently portrayed through Bartleby's odd behavior. No additional sources cited.
