Bartleby the Scrivenor

Well first of all I would like to say that I really thought this story was drug out and really just awful. Aside from that though it was great! I first thought it was odd the way it opened up and he said let me tell you about one of my Scrivener's then kind of almost went back and said well wait I have to tell you about the other two first. Honestly think I think telling us about the other two didn't seem very relevant at all. After a little bit of thinking though I think that especially considering the time this was written, that the story is really supposed to show someone finally standing up to the usual happenings on wall street. Wall street was, especially at this time, very heavily involved in various economic happenings concerning our country. I don't get though what Bartleby's eventual death is supposed to represent, maybe that standing up to wall street is a bad idea?
