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.

Yes, Edgar Allan Poe is considered an unreliable narrator in the poem "The Raven" because his grief and mental anguish distort his perception of reality, leading him to hallucinate and misinterpret the presence of the bird as a supernatural entity. This unreliable perspective is a deliberate device used by Poe to enhance the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the poem.
