Description

“Araby” is one of the fifteen stories of Dubliners (1914) written by James Joyce (1882-1941). The main character of this story is a boy who has been brought up by his uncle and aunt. He is attracted to Mangan's sister. One day she said to the boy about a splendid bazaar called Araby. She suggested that he should go to Araby. So he decided to go to Araby and as a token of his love for her he was going to buy her something. In spite of some difficulties which kept him from going to the bazaar, the boy managed to go to the destination. When he came to Araby, almost all of the stalls except a few ones had been closed. As a result, he could not buy her something. Throughout the story James Joyce tried to depict the figure of the boy who set out on his journey full of hope seeking for the truth, using many images or expressions. In this paper, the effect of many images or expressions seen in “Araby” will be investigated.
