This story is about a quiet, lonely and stubborn law scribe Bartleby, he refused to carry out the task of boss, exclude the outside world, die to seal his cramped studio, was arrested after, finally select a hunger strike. I believe this story. Because Wall Street is a highly commercialized society, the pursuit of efficiency and profit maximization, is working as a procedural, standardized boring process. Work becomes a tedious labor, people become a slave to work. Wall Street office environment, have a kind of trample upon the power of human nature, the old lawyer to bart than marching orders for many times. I think this kind of depressing working environment let Bartleby become more anxiety and depression, let Bartleby's behavior became strange.
