Im analyzing "Bartleby, the Scrivener" by Herman Melville.
I think that was a typo. It should have been LGBT.

For that story, I'd use "psychological."

NJ, first you have to know what all these things mean. Is the Melville a biography or fiction? Does Melville advance Marxist ideals (hint: Melville wrote before Marx did)? Is the book or story sympathetic to women's rights (Feminist)? If you know what all these things mean, you can see if they apply or not.
I ,agree with Writeacher, but Melville also wrote in a formal style, as did most New England writers of that time, copied or adapted from British authors who were also popular at the time. So that may apply, too. As I said above, make sure you know what these terms mean.
