By first identifying the "Araby"‚ Ehrlich illustrated the historical facts of the actual bazaar that came to Dublin in

"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

The settings in Araby The setting in James Joyce’s "Araby" is more than background‚ it is imagery that illuminates the conflict of the story. North Richmond street‚ where the protagonist lives‚ is "blind‚" "silent‚" and "sombre‚" with "dark muddy lanes" and houses that "gazed at eachother with brown imperturbable faces." This atmosphere provides a marked contrast with the protagonist’s youthful energy and vitality‚ but the blindness is echoed in the attitude of his aunt and uncle. On the evening
