The background information the narrator relates that gives us a greater understanding of the event unfolding is when he talks about when he interviewed Bartleby and he said what he though of him , then when Bartleby starts to refuse to do his duties .The information about Bartleby comes at the end of the story rather than the beginning because the author wants the reader to figure out what is going to happen next instead of knowing what will happen. when Bartleby refuses to do his duties the boss is very patient, he gives Bartleby many chances the boss reaction intensifies when he notices that Bartleby is taking his space, and its not working at all ; so he decide to move to another office since he cant force Bartleby out. The Boss dilemma is either to fire Bartleby , move out , help him , or hurt him . I feel that the event reached the pinnacle when Bartleby started to live in the office and the boss found him in there but Bartleby didn't let him in and so thats why the boss decide to move the office. another pinnacle event could be when people go an complaint o the boss about Bartleby.The most explosive clash is when the boss get really upset with Bartleby and he outcome is that the Boss decides to move. i think that the boss gained insight in this story because he was the only one who changed and at the end he found out a little about Bartleby's pass .
