Bartleby

Human's are a creature of habit. Bartleby is no exception to this, just like you or me. When we get used to doing something over and over, when we don't do that thing, something seems out of place. like we went over in class today, Bartleby worked in the dead letters office and when he moved offices he stopped doing work, but still showed up. I noticed, that if I work every tuesday for 2 months, and when I have a tuesday off I just sit there, and say.. I should be doing something, but I don't know what... So Bartleby, much like humanity are habitual. Maybe thats what Melville meant by Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity.
