본문내용
Since main character Bartleby says the sentence, ‘I would prefer not to.’ frequently, it should be mainly considered and also interpreted in a modern society. The story is developed around the sentence, for example, characters act and react from it and interestingly without the sentence they seemed not really move, just do something individually in a ‘peaceful’ mood. Scrivener, Bartleby, did not do anything but say the sentence as a passive resistance and it became the start of a change steadily in the capitalistic and materialistic society. It is going to be examined the meaning of the sentence, firstly, as a passive resistance to society and secondly, as a core factor of change of people’s mind. Finally the reason why he should have been passive will be concerned.
At first, Bartleby’s denial should be considered in detail. How he did resist to something? He all the time repeated ‘I would prefer not to.’ when someone asked something, normally narrator. He denied to answer, act, and even communicate with a lawyer, narrator.
