Bartleby the Scrivener, A Tale of Wall Street Why is subtitle " A Story of Wall Street" important in "Bartleby, the Scrivener" by Herman Melville? Asked by Elena4 on 25 Feb 21:10 Last updated by Jill W on 25 Jun 12:39
In this story, Melville is attacking what he believes is the dehumanizing of workers, which in his mind is directly caused by capitalism.... Wall Street being the mecca of this evil.
