The narrator’s presentation of the events is unreliable and uncreditable. This is because, the narrator is unreliable because, he is too unsophisticated. According to the article, “The Outsider”, “I must have lived years in this place, but I cannot measure the time.” This shows that the narrator can’t tell time so, there is no way to no how much time has gone by in any of the events that happens. The narrator says that he can’t remember most of his life. This shows that there might be information about him or where he is that we won’t know about that would’ve helped with our understanding of him and what is happening to him. Another thing that makes him unreliable is when he goes into the castle and there is a party going on. Once everyone sees him they start running away. The narrator then wonders why they are all running away. In the story by H.P Lovecraft “The Outsider”, “As I approached the arch I began to perceive the presence more clearly; and then, with the first and sound I ever uttered- a ghastly ululation that revolted me almost as poignantly as its noxious cause-I beheld in full, frightful vividness…” This shows that he didn’t have the capability to realize that he was a monster and he was looking at himself.
