Araby James Joyce

Meanings of title 1.a splendid bazaar with eastern enchantment 2. a symbol of idealized fantasy of love The way to Araby is actually a starting to come into his sexual identity A transformation from a boy to adolescence

Plot 1 North Richmond The former tenant of his house : a charitable priest Wild garden behind the house Boys’ play

Street —— blind House —— uninhabited Priest —— died Air —— musty Bicycle-pump —— rusty Lanterns —— feeble Negative Tedious Drab echoed shouts, career of play, ran the gauntlet, hid in the shadow, peer up

Plot 2 Her dress swung as she moved” and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side. Her image accompanied me even in places the most hostile to romance. I pressed the palms of my hands together until they trembled, murmuring: O love! O love! many times. Admiration of the narrator’s who is on the brink of sexual awareness

light, morning, summons, chalice, harp ——positive, bright, romantic idealization Turning : When she addressed the first words to me I was so confused that I did not know what to answer. She asked me if I was going to Araby. I forget whether I answered yes or no. ——If I go, I said , I will bring you something.

Plot 3 I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire . Aunt’s doubt: “hoped it was not some freemason affair” Master’s sternness: ”hoped I was not beginning to idle” Uncle’s mindlessness: “answered me curtly”

Plot 4 Change of attitude: “recalled to me the purpose of my journey” —change to —”remembering with difficulty why I had come” —change to —refuse to buy anything (give up the original purpose)

Plot 5 Realization:”creature driven and derided by vanity” and his “eyes burned with anguish and anger”. Epiphany(顿悟):a moment of sudden and intense insight his idealization crashes One point should be highlightened: Anomymous possible anyone

Things to be noted Unrequited love Sweet, romantic, ideal, sorrowful vivid description of the inner thought The gloomy atmosphere that actually sets the scene at the start of the story is an anticipation of what lies ahead for the little boy in the bazaar of Araby. (his doomed/inevitable failure)

Question 1: What themes does Araby concern? Coming of age The loss of innocence The life of the mind versus poverty (both physical and intellectual) The dangers of idealization The Catholic Church's influence to make Dublin a place of asceticism where desire and sensuality are seen as immoral The pain that often comes when one encounters love in reality instead of its elevated form These themes build on one another entirely through the thoughts of the young boy, who is portrayed by the first-person narrator, who writes from memory.

Epiphany---sudden realization maturing; growing-up (anguish and anger) Gap between the ideal and the reality Disillusion: love; passion of life The sense of isolation Spiritual paralysis

Question 2: What kind of romantic elements can you find in this story? As with many of the stories in the collection, Araby involves a character going on a journey, the end result of which is fruitless, and ends with the character going back to where he came from. Eveline is just one other story in Dubliners to feature a circular journey in this manner. Also, the narrator lives with his aunt and uncle, although his uncle appears to be a portrait of Joyce's father, and may be seen as a prototype for Stephen Dedalus of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses. The scorn the narrator has for his uncle is certainly consistent with the scorn Joyce showed for his father, and the lack of "good" parents is pertinent.
