Both Poe's single-effect theory and Melville's exceptional character development in the short stories, "The Cask of Amontillado," and "Bartelby the Scrivener," written by Poe and Melville respectively.

He does realize to a limited extent that he doesn’t really have a place in society. He is part of a dying generation. Thus, his stubbornness and refusal to accept reality are major parts of hi ...
