    Arnold Friend or Arnold Foe

    Tierce and Crafton’s theory that Arnold is a savior is flawed because they misunderstand Arnold Friend’s intentions of freeing Connie from the limitations of a child. Tierce and Crafton believe Arnold Friend was conjured up by Connie’s imagination. Tierce and Crafton believe that he is a manifestation of all the desires Connie holds in her heart. Her wish to be a grown woman created a messiah named Arnold Friend, who came to her to take her away from her father’s home and set her free, saying to Connie, “we’ll go out to a nice field, out in the country here where it smells so nice and it’s sunny”(Joyce Carol Oates, 515). Taking the innocence and limitations that her age brings allows her to leave and go with Arnold Friend (Connie’s Tambourine Man: A New Reading of Arnold Friend). He…

    Arnold Friend Character Analysis

    Arnold Friend follows Connie from the beginning of the story. When Connie finally notices his presence, "he [stares] at her and then his lips widen…and there he [is] still watching her," revealing his true desires and aspirations. Arnold not only wants to kill Connie, but to see and understand every breath she takes. Although she is unaware of his closeness, it becomes obvious that Arnold Friend is stalking Connie. When he states, "I know my Connie", it is clear that in Arnold's mind, Connie is a component of his game that he must understand. Bringing fear to Connie's eyes, Arnold states, "I know your name and all about you, lots of things,” truly proving the breadth of his knowledge and his demented intentions. Recalling seeing Connie at the drive-in the night before, "wagging a finger and laughing," and saying "gonna get you, baby" in response to Connie's smirk, he reveals his true obsession with Connie. Although Arnold pursues Connie stealthily, there are many other elements of his behavior that testify to his sociopathic mind.…

    Arnold Friend Character Analysis

    Arnold Friend is a character that is also controlled by his id. When he first makes contact with Connie he smiles and says “Gonna get you, baby” (Oates 1). In that instance, his id is controlling his decision-making. Arnold immediately determined that he wanted Connie without taking any time to process his thoughts. Later in the story, Arnold shows up at Connie’s house with his friend Ellie. At first he asks Connie to get in the car, but as time progresses he becomes more aggressive, demanding that she gets in the car. His behavior can be compared to that of a child. When a child doesn’t get what he wants, he becomes more and more aggressive until he does. That is because the child is not developed enough to have an ego or superego to counteract their id, which is the same for Arnold. He goes so far as to rape Connie, which expresses how Arnold’s id took advantage of a vulnerable girl (Snodgrass). However, Connie does have a superego in this situation. Instead of acting impulsively and getting in the car with Arnold, Connie begins to think about the consequences and decides against it. That is because Arnold is more than just a character, he is a physical representation of Connie’s id. He knows details about Connie that nobody should know except her, such as the location of her family. In this situation Connie’s mind only contains an ego and superego, but the id is standing in front of her. Arnold is her inner…

    Comparing Where Are You Going 'And The Girl With The Blackened Eye'

    Connie also does not have a good relationship with her family. She seems disconnect from them and she lives in her own world. Since Connie does not have an open relationship with her family, they do not know what is going on with her life. She is a rebellious teenager. She wants to be older than she really is. She is caught between her roles as daughter, friend, sister, and an object of sexual desire. “Everything about her had two sides to it, on for home and one for anywhere that was not home” (“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” 422). When she is introduced to Arnold, she cannot pretend anymore. She is introduced into adulthood. Just like Sissie, Connie’s family is responsible in how she chose to live her life because her family was not involved in her life. Even though her family was not that involved in her life that much “her attempt has succeeded is shown when she sacrifices herself by going out, at the end of the story to meet her fate, thereby sparing her family a violent and deadly encounter” (Slimp…

    Character Analysis Of Arnold Friend In 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?'

    Arnold’s threats escalate into hurting her family if she doesn't do what he wants. He has manipulated and put her down so much that now she feels trapped with no one else to turn to, which causes her to leave with him. Even though the abuse isn’t physical, this story is similar to feeling trapped in a relationship with someone you thought you could trust. Connie’s fragile emotional state was enough for Arnold to take advantage of her, and now the ending of her story in…

    Where Are You Going Where Have You Been Arnold Friend Character Analysis

    One story from the short story unit that depicts impossibilities is “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been.” Connie’s vanity is not abnormal; many teenagers who are her age and attractive act the same way. The impossibility of the story appears in the form of Arnold Friend. Whether he is Satan, a serial killer, Jesus, Bob Dylan, or none of the above, his presence seems odd. Arnold Friend seems to know too much about Connie’s life to simply be a stalker. He know that the rest of Connie’s family is at her aunt’s house. Arnold says while “squinting as if he were staring all the way to town and over to Aunt Tillie’s backyard,” that her family is sitting around and “right now they’re -- uh -- they’re drinking” (Oates 413). He also claims to be…

    Where Have You Going Where Are You Been Character Analysis

    This story centers around a girl who has a lot of liberty to do what she wants. However, her flaw is simply that she is too naive towards the world’s dangers and has a difficulty creating any sort of intimate relationship with anyone. Much like Laura, she has a cold relationship with her mother. Connie sees her mother as a person who is difficult to please and who is also constantly comparing her with her older sister June. “June did this, June did that,, she saved money and helped clean the house and cooked…” (Oates 492). This constant comparison with her sister drives Connie to the point of anger and disgust, where Connie cannot stand being with her mom for extended periods of time. This will go on to play a crucial role in the development of the story. Connie’s frustration with her mother is also made evident by the way Connie believes that her mother prefers June over her, stating that “if June’s name was mentioned her mother’s tone was approving, and if Connie’s name was mentioned it was disapproving” (Oates 495). Connie feels as if she is not appreciated within her household, a factor that leads her to make questionable decisions once Arnold Friend makes his appearance later on in the story. Along with her shaky relationship with her mother, Connie also has difficulty creating relationships with other people.…

    Connie's Short Story Arnold Nature

    Arnold presents himself to be in Connie’s age group, but as the story progresses, there is evidence to support that he is not. When Arnold is introduced to Connie, she notices odd things that someone her age wouldn’t do. He, for instance, runs through many sayings as if he learned them but doesn’t know which one to use. Oates says, “Don't hem in on me, don't hog, don't crush, don't bird dog, don't trail me," he said in a rapid, meaningless voice, as if he were running through all the expressions he'd learned but was no longer sure which of them was in style, then rushing on to new ones, making them up with his eyes closed”…

    Character Analysis Of Arnold Friend In 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been'

    When the character, Arnold Friend, was introduced I did not expect that he would play the role of the enemy in the story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been.” When he arrives at Connie’s home, I began to question my hypothesis. Similarly, Connie’s view of the mysterious man is reformed as Arnold’s true nature is revealed. The realization begins when he discloses all the information he knows about Connie and the whereabouts of her family. This is when I, the reader, and the character begin to suspect that Arnold is not a respectable guy. She then notices his eerily pale skin, aged appearance, unsettling remarks, and seemingly stuffed shoes. These suspicions were confirmed once he spoke of his intentions.…

    The dream takes a turn for the worst when Arnold Friend starts to push onto Connie. As Connie walks up the stairs, he follows and “one of his boots was at a strange angle, as if his foot wasn't in it. It pointed out to the left, bent at the ankle.” At this point, the story starts to shift from just a dream to a nightmare. As Arnold Friend threatens her, she runs to the phone. She begins to scream at the phone, into the roaring of the phone. She starts to unrecognize her own home as if it was not hers. The fields, and landscape outside was something “...Connie had never seen before and did not recognize except to know that she was going to…

    What Are The Qualities Of Arnold Friend Character Analysis

    Joyce Carlo Oats makes a point at describing the vanity and superiority of the main character. The story is laid out to get its readers to think about if she deserved to be kidnapped. As the story develops you see that Connie go from a fifteen year old who does not appreciate her family to a normal girl who just wants to be safe. When Arnold Friend is first intentioned you think he is just a cute boy but when he shows up and forces Connie to go with him you see his true colors. The line “We ain’t leaving until you come with us.” was the first line that you get a really disturbing vibe from Arnold Friend and from that point on even Connie knows that he is an evil…

    Perception Of Myself: The Main Conflict In Connie's Story

    I think the main conflict in this story that drives this plot to its outcome is Connie's conflict with her own perception of herself. I think that if she was not so assured that there was nothing else to her but her skin-deep looks, due to her mother's ridicule and her "better" sister, that she would not feel as if Arnold Friend truly appreciated her beauty and innocence. The conflict in the story is man vs. self. Connie is trying to figure out what is the best decision for herself. The constant manipulation from Arnold plays on her ability to make rational decisions, therefore she struggles to come up with an appropriate verdict to stay out of harm’s way. True, her confidence blinded her from Arnold's manipulative, well -researched and rehearsed…

    Arnold Friend As A Lover Analysis

    The first consideration “Arnold Friend as a lover” can be seen through the clear description used by Oates that shows Arnold as a sexual and handsome man, but a ghost of seduction in reality. Oates prints Arnold as the cunning perfect lover. She describes him as relaxed and shone that slippery friendly smile that boys couldn’t put across. Oates portrays an image of a perfect lover, being unobtrusive, friendly, and a sexual man (Oates 486). This image raises a lot of interest in Connie. Connie looked at Arnold with interest, but could only guess about his essence, the image seemed like a bizarre puzzle. She could not make a full image of the man: “all these things did not come together” (Oates 487).…

    Desperately wanting to be found attractive by older men, she finds herself trying very hard until Arnold Friend shows up in her driveway. That quiet day becomes greatly disturbing for her.
