A Compare/contrast Analysis of Billy Budd and Bartleby
1,873 words, approx. 6 pages
To contrast the two main characters, "Billy Budd" and "Bartleby", in the stories by Herman Melville, Bartlrby seems to lack a strong personality and independent will, which in the opinion of some people would make him a model employee. His lack of personality, though, causes his co-workers to dislike him. Billy, on the other hand, has a strong, magnetic personality, which causes most of his shipmates to like him. This may have been one of the reasons Claggart dislikes and resents Billy.
