This sedateness stimulates the lawyer's curiosity. Even when he rejects the narrator, his eyes are rather calm "not a wrinkle of agitation ripples him" (1901). At first, Bartleby does a huge amount of writing ceaselessly, but he writes "silently, palely, mechanically" (1901). The lawyer is touched by the scrivener's industry. When Bartleby joins him, he is very glad to have a copyist who meets the qualification and devotes all the time to writing.Īlthough Bartleby aggravates the narrator many times, the narrator, for the most part, reconciles with Bartleby, believing they are both "sons of Adam" (1097). All of the descriptions at the beginning of the fiction only reiterate the lawyer's nature-reconciliation. He is also a lawyer dealing with rich men's legal documents and he maintains that "the easiest way of life is the best" (1086). He permits the old Turkey to continue working for him even Turkey should abridge his working, when Turkey appeals lawyer's "fellow-feeling" (1088). The narrator, at the beginning of the story, is an "eminently safe man", who highly values the peace in his life (1086). As the plot progressively going to climax, the narrator gradually develops deeper insights about Bartleby, society and humanity. Bartleby, the phantom double of the narrator, is introduced into the story as a "pallidly neat, pitiably respectable, inscrutably forlorn" young man who is standing upon office threshold motionlessly (1090). Due to these people providing comical feature and a balance in the novel, readers can get a deeper sense of another part of the story happening on the Wall Street. Turkey, just like his name, is florid in the morning but too vigorous after meridian Niggers is uneasy in the morning but productive in the afternoon. While Nippers and Turkey are doubles of each other, there is also a parallel between Bartleby and the narrator. In Herman Melville's novel "Bartleby the Scrivener," doubling is a mirror image-a conversion. In Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors," doubling is an identical replica. How does Bartleby convert the narrator into deeper insights? Describe Bartleby as a conversion of the narrator.
