Narrator essay
It is most likely that the lawyer-narrator is the protagonist. The reader's perception of Bartleby is always coloured by the narrator's perception. Furthermore, we learn more about the narrator's emotional state/attitude toward the times than we do about Bartelby's. Bartleby acts as a symbol and as such, provides insight into society for the reader.

Reliable narrator is the standard form of narration in most stories. A narrator is the voice who is telling a story. That voice can be reliable or unreliable, in that it can be considered to always be telling the story accurately or not. Unreliable narration is really a special, rare case where the narrators credibility has been compromised. To understand reliable narration it is easiest to consider unreliable narration. A narrator might be considered unreliable if their telling of the story is shown likely be inaccurate. The narrator may give conflicting accounts of events (e.g. "Hero"), be revealed to be lying (e.g. "The Usual Suspects"), or it may become apparent that the narrator though believing their account might be suffering from a mental disorder (e.g. "Memento"). In all these situations the narrative is taking place from the first person perspective. Note that in the above examples (I used films, but it applies to everything) the narrator is deceiving the audience i.e. if the audience takes what the narrator says at face value then they have an inaccurate account of what took place. This is different from the narrator being either mistaken, or themselves deceived by another character, in which case they are not being unreliable.

First of all, Edgar Allan Poe is not the narrator of the story, he is the author, make sure you make that distinction. Montressor is the narrator of the story, he's the one telling his close friend of what happened with Fortunato. Montressor can be considered an unreliable narrator because fifty years has passed and he is an old man now who has obviously cooled off about the whole situation. He also may be considered an unreliable narrator because he is so tricky throughout the story that maybe he's manipulating the reader.
Well... If something is unreliable, it most likely won't work when you need it. This is usually bad. Say for instance when you want to make a call and your phone does not work. Well...

A first-person narrator is most affected by personal bias because the story is told from their perspective, which can lead to a skewed or unreliable portrayal of events and characters. This type of narrator may provide a subjective account of the story, influenced by their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
