Plot Exposition

Plot
Exposition:-what background information does the narrator relate that gives us a greater understanding of the events unfolding?
Why does the information about Bartleby's previous employment come at the end of the story rather than at the beginning?
Complication-
how does the Boss react when Bartleby repeatedly refuses to perform his duties? How does his reaction intensify? What is the Boss's
dilemma?
Climax-Where do you feel the events reach their pinnacle? Where is the conflict most intense, the clash most "explosive"?

Resolution-What's the outcome of the explosion? 
Epiphany-who has gained insight in this story, Bartleby or the Boss, or anybody?

We find that Bartleby worked in a dead letters office in a post office sorting mail that cannot be sent.
the ending information is placed there because that is the mystery behind the story that kept the readers wondering why he is twisted. The boss became agitated with Bartleby and tried to fire him but could not succeed so when things failed he moved to evade Bartleby. the Boss cannot escape Bartleby. The story becomes most explosive when the boss leaves the office and Bartleby is stuck behind and slowly starts to wither away and die. The boss becomes enlightned by Bartleby and the misery that surrounded him.
