He’s going to kill me, ” Peppone murmured, his jaw drooping, “or at least send out the order to have someone take care of me. Well, ” with a sigh, “might as well get rid of this body before the others wake up.” He canted his head and mused to himself. “Maybe I should carve it up first.” “ At long last, ” Bartleby cried, raising his eyes and wringing his hands, “somebody who has no regard for collective conscience and general morality. Oh, happy, happy morning! ” “ Take care, Peppone, ” Danaco laughed, “if you have so little regard for life and the creatural condition, Bartleby will attach himself to you and never leave you for a moment. .Michelle Franklin
About This Quote
The story of Bartleby the Scrivener, who spent his entire life in a single room without speaking to anyone, has inspired writers for centuries. The story has been adapted into plays, poems, and songs, and has even been made into a movie. And, while Bartleby himself is not technically an employee of an office, there are plenty of similarities. He is loyal to no one but himself.
And while he may do his job well, he doesn’t socialize with his coworkers. Bartleby also makes it clear that he has no regard for life or the lives of others.
