Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville is a short story about a law copyist named Bartleby who gradually withdraws from life, repeatedly saying "I would prefer not to" when asked to perform tasks. The story explores themes of isolation, passive resistance, and the dehumanizing effects of modern work environments, and is celebrated for its deep psychological insights.
