What A Name!

Clever names in this one made my eyes alert when I came across the goofy names, though I felt at times to be drifting off!
In "Bartleby the Scrivener," one primary aspect stuck out to me. While it pertains to both his character and the title of the work, the narrator-boss's name is never mentioned. In connection to character, the development of the narrator is perceived through the title because he always put others' best interests and needs before his own: even though he was tired of Bartleby's "I prefer not to" excuse, the boss kept him, for he knew Bartleby needed a place to work and stay. His name wasn't mentioned because of his persistence to put others before himself. A rather laid back man with good intentions, the narrator explores other characters through his viewpoint; therefore, we are immersed into his character. By explaining the foil characters of Nippers and Turkey who balance each other out, the narrator offers a glimpse of his personality and ability to look past the workload and into the depths of his employees.
