• The "dead walls" and Bartleby's " dead walls reveries represent that Bartleby is dead inside because of his passed job working in the deadmail room at the post office, he is inside the walls of sadness that make him feel as if he was a ghost. The setting of "wall street" is significant because int he beginning wall street began by trading slaves, Bartelby probably felt like a slave working in wall street he is expected to do whatever the boss tells him to do just like when the "bosses" were masters and the workers were the "slaves." Turkey and Nippers have nick names because they aren't really important to the story they were just like workers who really did anything their boss told them to do and they get so frustrated that they had to do things and Bartleby didn't, Turkey and Nippers are like dummy nick names. The boss's name is never mentioned maybe because of guilt. Bartleby's first name is never mention either this is because the author is trying to disguise something, like their is identity and life background.
