... Bartleby the "Bartleby in Scrivener" by Herman Melville suffers from depression and lives in a continual downfall until death. ... For Bartleby this is the case throughout the entire story. Bartleby is placed in a setting of what would be expected to be the ordinary of his time. ... But Bartleby has a hard time accepting what is to be considered normal for him. Instead of handling the situation as what would be accepted, Bartleby rebels with his common phrase of "I prefer not to" (Melville 466). ... This shows Bartleby’s reasons and intentions for rebelling. ... Bartleby is depressed and as a result decides he would prefer not to take what is handed to him as the norm. ... Bartleby would seems to take a silent hunger strike, but he rebels against nothing anyone can seemingly fix. ...
For the character of the narrator, Melville seemingly referred and based him on Matthew 25:34-40.
