rule 12‚ which states that no king can impose a tax with any reason or that is of no benefit to the kingdom itself. Financial responsibilities and physical implementation is the most important thing in any society‚ and false taxation without representation is a crime which can KILL any society.

whether or not food is symbolic in the story written by Herman Melville‚ I would answer yes it is highly symbolic. In my opinion food represents capitalism in America. Unlike his colleagues who have names referencing food‚ Bartleby barely eats any food throughout the tale. Bartleby is also extremely opposite of his colleagues as well. Since the story’s setting takes place during the early Wall Street like environment‚ the constant referencing of food could be Melville’s story could represent a capitalist
