Bartleby is a character in Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener." He is a passive and enigmatic scrivener who repetitively responds with the phrase "I would prefer not to" when asked to do tasks. Bartleby's behavior challenges the norms of the workplace and raises questions about individual autonomy and alienation in society.
