In the beginning and the end of the story it is a objective third person narrator. The narrator knows nothing about the men in the library, nothing about their thoughts or feelings. The narrator just describes what happens in the library.
In the story that Dr. Melville tells it is from his point of view so therefore it is first person narrator. When telling the story he says “I” so therefor we know it must be from his point of view.
Dr. Melville is a reliable narrator considering he tells about the bad things he did, such as the fact that he was the first to pull the rope that Jube was hanging from.

11. Explain the description of Jube Benson as Annie’s faithful dog? What can we read into the use of the description?
Answer:
The term dog can be compared to a slave, Annie uses Jube Benson as a slave, but he also does things voluntarily without her asking to satisfy her.
Jube Benson will do anything for Annie, he has a big affection towards her, he also becomes affectionate to Dr. Melville and they end up becoming friends.
12. How does the doctor react when he is out searching for Jube Benson? – Describe his thoughts and feelings
Answer:
Dr. Melville took his rifle and went out with the rest of the town to look for him, but all with the same understanding, not to shoot, but bring him back alive and then deal with him.
He describes his fellings when he is out in the woods searching for Jube Benson “My heart smouldered within me like a coal, and I went forward under the impulse of a will that was half my own, half some more malignant power's.” (p.4 l.152-153).
Dr. Melville seems conflicted. It shows that he is a bit reluctant, but since he was little he has been told that the devil was black, at the same time it was his friend they were chasing.
