Reаd the intrоductiоn belоw аnd trаnscribe the complete thesis below. Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener, A Story of Wall-street” (1856) is prone to allegorical readings. For critics, Bartleby is almost anything but the cadaverous copyist of Melville’s story. Literary scholars have portrayed Bartleby as a stand-in for Melville (Marx), as Melville’s version of Thoreau (Rogin), or as an opium addict like Edgar Allen Poe (Arsic). The desire to read Bartleby as something other than a copyist, is perhaps the fault of Melville’s narrator, a lawyer who employs Bartleby before the title character's death. As he admits early in the story, “I believe that no materials exist for a full and satisfactory biography of this man. It is an irreparable loss to literature. Bartleby was one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable except from the original sources, and, in this case, those are very small” (4). Seizing on this fact, J. Hillis Miller notes, “All readings attempt in one way or another to fulfill what the narrator has tried and failed to do: to tell Bartleby’s story in a way that will allows us to assimilate him and the story into the vast archives of rationalization that make up the secondary literature of [the academy]” (174). Miller adds that none of these readings get any closer at establishing who Bartleby is, and therefore, what Melville’s story is about. One noted exception to this critical trend is Dan McCall’s short and underappreciated book The Silence of Bartleby (1989). McCall describes the proliferation of readings that hope to establish Bartleby’s true identity as a “fantasia of literary gossip” (14). He notes that it is impossible to read Bartleby is Melville, Thoreau, and an opium addict at the same time. Rather, McCall stresses Bartleby’s ineffability. Why do we readers think we will get any further than our flummoxed narrator? Instead, McCall writes that Bartleby is “enigmatic at the core” and the “profoundest [response to him] is silence” (58). Like McCall, I agree that trying to figure out Bartleby’s identity is a lost cause. That inquiry should lead us nowhere, but seems to have led critics everywhere. Nevertheless, I disagree with McCall’s assertion that our response to Bartleby ought to be silence. Rather than trying to figure out who Bartleby is, I believe our understanding of the story would be much enhanced if we instead looked at the effects that Bartleby has. We may not be able to shine a light on the abyss itself, but we can see what the endless chasm does to the countryside around it. To understand the effect Bartleby has then, is to observe that his extreme negation destabilizes the social world around him. While many critics have read Bartleby in the tradition of passive resistance and civil disobedience, Bartleby’s radical negation serves no political purpose; it makes social life and, therefore, politics impossible. While Bartleby’s starvation at the end of the story would make his life of refusal unattractive, adopting his signature phrase—“I prefer not to”—might serve us well as a tactic in this moment of oppressive online social connection.
