The clerk portrays the story of a New York Jewish shopkeeper and his Italian-American clerk, with a strong realism. This essay analyzes the growth stories of shopkeeper’s daughters and clerks from the perspective of biblical archetypes, embodies the tragic destiny of the Jewish little man and further expresses the major theme of mankind’s pursuit of good morals in misery.
