Comparing Bartleby, The Scrivener, and Hunger Artist
Literature has contributed extensively toward understanding the community and society at large. The goal of literature is to help people move a step back in their current life and learn old ways of life through people who have lived before. The use of poems and articles has contributed to the current knowledge about the culture and traditions of society. Essentially, it is a recorded history that acts as a mirror of where humanity has come from. Conformity can be described as adapting to the norms and beliefs of certain people in the community.

According to the narrator in this article, Bartleby ends up in prison, and even the inmates tell him that he does not belong there.
