The narrator in this story is a first-person participant. The narrator is one of the townspeople, most likely a male, who is very objective in presenting the facts of the story. The narrator tells us about what the townspeople think of Miss Emily at various points in the story, but he does not judge her. He even lends an air of sympathy for Emily, really. One can tell that the narrator does not want to judge her. He is trying to present her situation as objectively as possible. The narrator clearly presents a reality, not an illusion. Miss Emily is the one who is struggling with the concept of reality vs. illusion, etc. She also is living one way while hiding a terrible secret (reality vs. appearance).
