The story of Bartelby The Scrivener includes characters of the Boss, Nippers, Turkey Gingernut and Bartelby. The boss is firm but somewhat insecure. Nippers is hotheaded and has a bit of an attitude that shows his energetic charisma. Turkey is senior and follows orders and becomes aggitated with Bartleby's passive and firm attitude. Gingernut is the office boy who is a child that works to run around for the men of the office. Bartleby has a very dense attitude in which he "prefers not to" carry out actions that the boss instructs him to. Bartleby becomes extremely stubborn and refuses to leave when prompted to. He was fired and would noty leave the office in which he worked. Then the boss moves his bussiness to another location and Bartleby stays which causes Boss major stress in his life. the characters all have flaws that make them distinct in the story but Bartelby quickly becomes an agitation to the other characters. The boss begins to sympathize Bartleby due to the condition of him in the story. The boss changes through the story but Bartleby stays exactly the same through the story and all that changes is is humanity. the story changes around Bartleby.
