The narrator is part of the literary work. The narrator may or may not be in the story itself.

In Moby Dick the narrator is part of the crew. In Our Town the narrator is not in the story as the narrator but appears in several parts as various characters and the audience is always told that this character is also the narrator.

In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, the narrator is repeating what the old sailor told him so he is not part of the central story.

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a narrator who is not in the story and the author.

Dickens wrote in the third person and in the first person.

In some stories the narrator become very invisible indeed however it is difficult to do away with the narrator all together. A story with a perfectly invisible narrator would read like a drama script.
