What is the importance (or symbolism) of Death’s role as the narrator in the novel?

Death is an important narrator because he is able to provide Liesel's point of view, as well as to provide certain information that Liesel wasn't privy to. Death also provides a unique perspective of death and dying..... he has seen it all, and he is tired..... exhausted and appalled. Death is haunted by his experiences, and if anything, he symbolizes a beleaguered outsider baffled by the paradoxes of human nature.
