A narrator is the voice that tells the story in a literary work. The lines of the narrator can vary depending on the point of view chosen by the author, such as first-person, second-person, or third-person. The narrator's lines serve to convey the plot, setting, characters, and themes of the story to the reader.

An example of the intrusive narrator in Jane Eyre is when the narrator interrupts the story to directly address the reader, such as in the opening lines of the novel. The narrator can be considered reliable as their perspective on events is consistent throughout the story. The intrusiveness of the narrator creates a more intimate relationship with the reader, as if the narrator is sharing their thoughts and feelings directly with us.

Lines such as "And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain" and "And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor" suggest the narrator's solitude through the eerie and desolate atmosphere they describe.

The character who is telling the story is called the narrator. The narrator sometimes plays an important role in the story and can be the protagonist, or it can be someone on the sidelines who does not take part in the main action.
