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.
