Bartleby the Scrivener

Question 11
When Bartleby first arrives, the lawyer is happy to have him. Bartleby works hard and does not complain. The lawyer is relieved that Bartleby works hard and does not have moodiness during the day. The lawyer then becomes annoyed and frustrated with Bartleby because he always responds, "I would prefer not to" when he is asked to do something. He threatens to fire Bartleby but he will not leave. He even pays Bartleby to leave and he still will not leave. The lawyer then becomes worried about Bartleby when the police come to arrest him. He felt responsible for Bartleby.
