Here are my discussion questions for our recent reading assignment on Bartelby the Scrivener, a Story of Wall Street.
1) On pg. 30 (kindle version) where the lawyer says that Bartelby has to leave the premises because he is- is that an ultimatum?
2) What is a rockaway?
3) Why would the other lawyers hold our narrator responsible for Bartelby?
4) Why would Bartelby be mad at the narrator?
5) Why would Bartelby's previous job have affected him as a Wall Street scrivener?
