We don't have to believe the narrator Written by Margaret H (1/27/2006 8:43 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Manfred, penned by Emmeline

I've read many discussion about the narrator taking a particular character's point of view, like Elizabeth Bennet's, and therefore not seeing things clearly. In this case, I think the narrator is being too nice, and I choose to think Manfred is nasty.
