Identify the protagonist from Henry James "Europe" .
I was thinking about this and I don't know who the protagonist would be since the story focuses on Mrs Rimmie but she's not really a positive character ? Would it be the narrator?
Who's the main character?

Again that doesn't answer my question because I'm still confused whether or not it's Mrs. Rimmie because the story does revolve around her family ?
I don't believe it's the narrator.

The narrator of “Europe” is an excellent example of James’s style. He is clearly a cultivated, fastidious, and perceptive man; his choice of language and attitude toward the tale he relates are ironic and distanced. He is not an actual part of the story, a fact that enables him to maintain his distance at all times. Indeed, much of the story is told to him by his sister-in-law, a device that creates another barrier between him and the Rimmles and helps to keep the reader from becoming emotionally involved in the story. James enjoys using narrators who have only partial knowledge of the story they tell, limiting the reader to the narrator’s perspective and filtering all aspects of the story through the narrator’s consciousness. The result is that the narrator’s version of the tale becomes as important as the actual persons and events that are described. A close reading of “Europe” reveals perhaps more about the narrator than it does about the Rimmles, a result that James sought in his fiction.
