This story’s main focus is on something that I feel is pretty common nowadays: young love. It’s about a young boy that has an infatuation with his friend’s sister. He obsesses over her‚ and he watches her every move. The

The most remarkable imagery in Joyce’s’ "Araby" is the imagery of dark and light. The whole story reads like a chiaroscuro‚ a play of light and darkness.
