when bartleby prefers to not do something, why does the narrator turn and ask the opinions of the other workers?



Answer :

Bartleby narrator despises change. "I would prefer not to change," he says, later adding, "I prefer to be stationary."

In fact, he prefers not to travel very far at all, working, eating, and sleeping in the same location. He is unable to leave his private world and reveal aspects of himself to the public. The narrator of the story, The Lawyer, has already been surprised by Bartleby's refusal to examine a document, as all scriveners (law-copyists) are required to do. The Lawyer was surprised that Bartleby hadn't argued with him when he said he'd "prefer not to." Instead of forcing Bartleby to leave the office, the Narrator makes the irrational decision to pack his belongings.
