Point of view

who tells the story? -the first person narrator , who is flawed but human ... he's reliable , we trust him. His actions definitely support what he tells us about himself ; especially the part about being a man who likes to take the "easy" way . what else is gained by telling this story from the boss perspective? why not one of the other clerks.

The boss is the first person narrator , who is flawed but human ... he's reliable , we trust him. His actions definitely support what he tells us about himself ; especially the part about being a man who likes to take the "easy" way.The story is told in the Boss perspective to show the reader that he was a man you cared about himself only and that Bartleby changed him,and so the story can be more interesting much more dynamic and it sets a point that the author is trying to make . The story is not told by any of the other clerks because if it was told by nippers, turkey or ginger nut they would just criticize Bartleby , maybe go off topic and their personality wouldn't be as funny; Nipper, turkey and ginger nut are there to make the story dynamic.Without them we wouldn't have known who the boss really was at the beginning and at the end we may not notice the change .
