How do Bartleby’s and Gregor’s alienation and isolation differ?

Bartleby and “The Metamorphosis” use two different narratives to explore the isolation and alienation of their main characters. How do Bartleby’s and Gregor’s alienation and isolation differ?

Please discuss how both stories emphasize the dehumanization of individuals in their struggles against, or resistance to, social conformity. What social conventions do Bartleby and Gregor refuse, and rebel against? Do Bartleby and Gregor reject society, or does society reject them? How are the characters progressively cut off from others? How do they escape society’s constraints on our freedom? What element(s), if any, sustain a shred of hope, or light, in their slow descent into death? These are some questions to help guide your writing, so you don’t have to answer them all.

Please make sure that you use the texts for support in your essay. This is a comparative essay, so your analysis of both texts must be well balanced, and your arguments must address both texts. You don’t need to add a work cited page.

– DO NOT summarize the texts. ANALYZE.

– This is an ARGUMENTATIVE essay. So make sure every paragraph advances your argument.

– Be very careful to avoid PLAGIARISM. Do not use words or ideas from the internet without citing the source. Be sure to enclose words you use from any texts in quotation marks.

– Make sure you transition from one paragraph to the next.

– Your essay must have a title, an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion.

– Your essay should be written in 12 points Times New Roman, double-spaced, and no longer than 1200 words.

All submission are through Canvas. I will NOT accept email submissions, or late ones. Please make sure you have the right extension file for your uploaded submission, so I can write comments in the essay.
