  In the shadowy chambers of a Wall Street law office, a quiet copyist named Bartleby enters the scene—and refuses to leave. Hired for his precision and calm demeanor, Bartleby soon begins replying to every request with the haunting refrain: "I would prefer not to." 
  As his passive resistance deepens into total withdrawal, the lawyer who employs him becomes increasingly baffled, then obsessed. Melville’s classic novella is both darkly comic and deeply unsettling—a prescient meditation on alienation, mental health, and the silent revolt against the machinery of modern life.

  Two Tales From Herman Melville -...

  Two Tales From Herman Melville includes "The Lightning-Rod Man" and "The Bell-Tower." After spending the summer of 1853 in the Berkshire Mountains, where he supposedly had a real life encounter with a lightning-rod salesman, Melville published "The Lightning-Rod Man." At the end of this short story, the lightning-rod salesman is exposed for the fraud that he is. However, that will not keep his successors from fanning out to the Middle West, where lightning storms abound and farmers were gullible. On another level, the story can be interpreted as a confrontation between Good and Evil. Through description and diction, the narrator is understood as a follower of God, someone who believes in The Almighty watching over him. On the other hand, the lightning-rod man is seen as a negative character, someone who only has faith in the product he's peddling. "The Bell-Tower," published in 1856, is the story of an eccentric architect named Bannadonna and his quest to build a magnificent bell-tower. As building progresses, local townspeople begin to hear of mysterious occurrences in the tower, leading to a suspenseful conclusion.
