Bartleby is stubborn, self-absorbed, rebellious, and insubordinate, yet many readers, and even the narrator, the Boss himself, have a deep sympathy for him. Why?
Others?
Bartelby's lack of communicating with others, no place to stay and no one to question brings readers to sympathize him.Reading that Bartleby lived in the office and had nowhere to reside made me sympathize him. Additionally, Bartleby never says a word to anyone unless he is spoken to. This makes me feel that Bartelby is alone in the world with no friend or anyone. Along with his unsociable side , Bartelby also never asks for help. I believe that everyone need a shoulder to lean on or a person to ask for advice to or even a simple question to. However, Bartelby doesn't have anyone at all, hence the reason why I sympathize him.
