    Araby James Joyce’s prose Araby in Dubliners is a story written with a nameless first-person narrator. It is about the narrator’s life on Northern Richmond Street and his tremendous crush on the sister of his companion‚ Mangan. In my opinion‚ the girl has significance in symbolizing the frustration and blind pursuit of romance. In view of the portrait of her “brown figure” and that “her dress swung as she moved her body”‚ as well as the boy’s timidity towards her‚ she appears to be mysterious‚

    Alienation of "Araby" Although "Araby" is a fairly short story‚ author James Joyce does a remarkable job of discussing some very deep issues within it.

Yet deeper down it is about a lonely boy who makes a pilgrimage to an eastern-styled bazaar in hopes that it will somehow alleviate his miserable life.

    "Araby" Knight The short story "Araby" by James Joyce could very well be described as a deep poem written in prose. Read casually‚ it seems all but incomprehensible‚ nothing more than a series of depressing impressions and memories thrown together in a jumble and somehow meant to depict a childhood infatuation. Like the sweet milk inside a coconut‚ the pleasure of this story comes only to the reader who is willing to put forth the intense effort necessary to comprehend it. Or like an onion
