Ah! Bartleby. Ah! Humanity.

I think the last line in Bartleby, which states "Ah! Humanity," is a direct statment about the war in Iraq. After so many harsh conflicts such as WWI & WWII, how can people still want to go into war and allow people to die. The lawyer in the story can represent the government and Bartleby can represent Iraq. It got to the point where Bush basically didn't know what to do anymore and couldn't handle Iraq so he went to war killing lots of people like the way Bartleby died. I can see now that Iraq does affect me, by affecting everything around me. War affects everything, including fashion, which is what my paper was on. I think Bartleby would have been a great story to use for this paper.
