The book is Herman Melville Bartley & Benito Cerrano
And this is the topic that need to be respond
At one point late in the story, the narrator of Bartleby the Scrivener makes a strange statement: I tore myself from him whom I had so longed to be rid of (28). This description seems to be a contradiction: why would someone have to tear oneself away from a person one wanted to get rid of? Use this quotation as a starting point to explore the narrators psychology. Specifically, how does he feel about Bartleby? Are his feelings conscious or unconscious? Why? How might his feelings about Bartleby motivate how and why he tells this story? (As you structure the flow of your discussion, be sure to reckon with the last quarter of the story too. Given the fact that this tale is told in retrospect, the end of their relationship must matter!) You need to have a focused central argument about the narrators psychological relationship with Bartlebyyour thesis does not need to be squished into only one sentence!and you must work with direct quotations to illustrate your ideas. One final requirement: your introductory paragraph must include the above quotation as a starting point for your exploration of the narrators feelings about Bartleby.
