Both stories give you symbols that point towards dreariness‚ gloominess and just overall sadness in the story. If looked at closely‚ the characters

James Joyce‚ The Dead In James Joyce ’s novella The Dead‚ we see the author completely change his writing form in the last paragraph.

Eveline and Araby Both Eveline and Araby were well written short stories by James Joyce. Reading these two stories without performing any analysis or study‚ it would be improbable to notice their similarities considering they embody abstruse and obscure symbols within their settings and situations. But after meticulous study‚ the similarities in their themes and plot become clear and apparent. Eveline and Araby share the same theme‚ which is knowing the distinctions between the real and the ideal

"Araby" is a short complex story by James Joyce that I believe is a reflection of his own life as a boy growing up in Dublin. James Joyce uses the voice of a young boy as a narrator; however the narrator seems much more mature then the boy in the story. The story focuses on escape and fantasy; about darkness‚ despair‚ and enlightenment: and I believe it is a retrospective of Joyce’s look back at life and the constant struggle between ideals and reality. I believe Araby employs many themes; the
