The narrative centers on an elderly lawyer who employs a scrivener named Bartelby, whose refusal to engage in work creates tension within the legal office. As Bartelby's indifference grows, it impacts the lawyer's productivity and mental state, leading to a profound exploration of isolation and the human condition in a capitalist society. The story delves into themes of choice, resistance, and the struggle for individuality against societal expectations.
