    Lockwood is quite snobbish- He would much rather work with a more sophisticated and classy family than the group he works with.

    His behavior detaches him from the narration, as he can only explain events from his own point of view, one which is aloof, and does not quite grasp the essence of the situation. He also narrates under Nelly's role in the story, so we get to know Nelly thanks to Lockwood but, again, only what he knows, and what he understands to be the situation, not necessarily a narrative and factual recount of events.
