I think of the Scrivener, too, but I think of him more positively. I think he is an almost tragic hero; he didn't ask to be saved, and the lawyer should not have presumed that he needed help. They were the choices he made. I mean, yeah, the death is prison isn't such a great thing, but anyway . . .

I do also like the sound and look of Bartleby, but I would be afraid for the NN Bart with this, too, and I don't like that at all.
