Both of your questions are well written and are great questions to answer in an essay. Though, the second question grabbed most of my attention, and there are many reasons why. I think you took something that everyone who might read “Bartleby the Scrivener” would ask, which is why is he so obsessed with him and shows him so much attention. I do think that you could squeeze in the question if you think that him showing Bartleby so much attention would that makes him a hero or not? And what hero would he be? As for the second question, I do think it would be a little more difficult to try and compare every single story together. Maybe you could pick just a few and then compare and contrast those. Overall, I do think you have come up with good questions.
