how other characters see them‚ by their names‚ by their appearance and also through dialogues. These are called the techniques of characterization. In order to make it clearer‚ we will talk about the two stories: James Joyce’s Araby and James Hurst’s The Scarlet Ibis. Araby is a short story about a guy who used to be insanely in love with a girl and then he was disappointed when he faced the reality and realized it was too good to be true‚ while the Scarlet Ibis is a short story about a guy whose

In James Joyces Dubliners the use of irony and sensory disconnect are what structure the recurring themes of the stories. The themes include entrapment‚ with escaping routine life for its horrors‚ misery‚ and agony. The stories Eveline‚ Araby‚ A Painful Case‚ and The Dead all end in epiphany. Dubliners experience a climactic moment in their lives to bring them change‚ freedom and happiness‚ although these moments bring none of those. All characters fall into paralysis from not being able to leave

The three stories I will be analyzing are “An Encounter‚” “Eveline‚” and “Araby.” The main character in “An Encounter” seems to recognize that he is slightly more timid than the other boys his age. At the end of this story‚ the main character becomes upset with himself for being so timid and shy‚ unable to speak up for himself

an alternate view of the character’s personality. In James Joyce’s Dubliners‚ he creatively exercises figural narration to portray different views of the character’s identity in the story "Eveline‚" but he chooses to use first-person narrative in "Araby" creating a contrast in the exposition of the characters in the two stories. In the story of "Eveline‚" Joyce uses figural narration to give the reader a chance to explore the character‚ Eveline‚ and interpret her identity however they want. For

Life Goes On An important similarity between the reasons for the harassed and unhappy states of the protagonists at the end of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and James Joyce’s “Araby” is the mental and emotional consequence of each protagonist’s quest. In the two stories the main protagonists are very naïve‚ an unexplainable force drives him‚ from within‚ to pursue a mission during which he learns a harsh lesson about life. Unfortunately‚ his wisdom is limited to his knowledge and personal

of Father Flynn in "The Sisters". In this paper I intend to explore the different paths and contours of these themes in the four stories where I think they are most prevalent ‚and which I most enjoyed "Araby"‚ "Eveline"‚ "The Boarding House"‚ and "A Little Cloud". The story of "Araby" is that of a young boy probably about the age of adolescence who is having his first crush on his friends sister. Although the boy seems to have no intention of realistically perusing the situation when
