This story is a great monument to Bartleby the Scrivener, but it isn't told from his POV. 
 I can see that figure now--pallidly neat, pitiably respectable, incurably forlorn! It was Bartleby. 
 Bartleby's boss, a wolf of Wall Street, tells the story. That is a good feature because I could see the full absurdity, humor behind his and other people's reactions to Bartleby. The effect upon others varied from drama to humor, from annoyance to regret, from rage to helplessness. Bartleby's most famous phrase seems to contaminate everybody's language. It looks like being passive he affected others a lot and all the time he spoke more about what he would rather not do than simply doing and causing changes. 
 The absurdity of humanity provides inexhaustible material for books and for this book especially. This book is definitely great for its characters' presentation and development, as it was awesome! I giggled almost all the time reading about the characters, their absurd appearances and character features. 
 Also I was sorry for them while reading about their misfortunes or sad fate. 
 Though for me, this story had one really big flaw. I found a lack of more scenic setting. I think, it wasn't developed fully, because the places were presented in a simple way, just a quick description, with no vivid presentment. Of course the story is not long, only 64 pages. This story could make a great longer book. Also it was strange that none of the main characters' real names or surnames were presented. Except Bartleby of course. A strange name/surname/whatever :) 
 All in all I quite enjoyed this short story. The main characters were really remarkable. I found out some screen adaptations and I'm ready for a date with Bartleby
