Bar.tleby makes no response, and the Lawyer becomes resigned to the idea that Bar.tleby will simply haunt his office, doing nothing.
The Lawyer believes he is doing a good, Christian thing by allowing Bar.tleby to continue existing in his office."
<h3>Who is Bar.tleby?</h3>

The denotative definition of a word is its literal meaning. This would be the meaning one would find in the dictionary.
By contrast, the connotative definition is the meaning associated with the word. It is the implied meaning of the word.
For example, the words in bold have the same denotation but different connotations:
-- a beautiful woman
-- a handsome woman
-- a pretty woman
While all these words mean the same thing, they do not have the same associations.
