Bartleby the Scrivener Question #4

Bartleby's repetition of the phrase "I prefer not to" has an interesting affect on the other characters and their daily routines. One thing I noticed was that, the word prefer crept into the other characters' vocabulary the more Bartleby said it. I also found the narrator's response interesting. No matter how many times Bartleby would refuse to do something, the narrator would always ask him. I thought this was weird because I would think that one would give up eventually. I thought that the narrator weant too easy on him a lot of the time. He was disobedient and didn't deserve the favors that the narrator did for him.
