Irony

Irony
: The Boss doesn't recognize that his own passiveness is as persistent and frustrating as Bartleby's. Or that his genteel, self-
interested interest in Bartleby is leading to no good.
Can you think of other ironies?

Other ironies is that Bartleby is full of sorrow that he loses interest in his work and this causes the boss to feel sorry for someone who doesnt care about anyone or anything and eventually this isolation that Bartleby has created ends up to be the death of him.
