Araby

1) Trace the text's use of light and dark imagery. Quote the text. When is the only time Joyce uses light imagery in the story? What do these images represent in the story?

This story uses plenty light and dark imagery for instance in the 3rd paragraph where she stated that dusk fell and the space of the sky had the colour of ever-changing violet and the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanters.
Also the light from the kitchen windows, hidding in the shadow, the evening when the character entered the room where the priest died it was a dark rainyy evening, the darkness in some parts of the hall when he went to the bazzar portrayed light and dark imagery.

Joyce light imagery in the story when describing the curves of the girl. "The light of the lamp opposite our door caught the white curves of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there..."

2) Araby represents an event that he would enjoy, a way him to get the girl something because she would not be there, a chance to get out of the house , a special event

3) The climax is getting to the bazzar finally and getting in. The narrator eye's burnet with anguish and anger because he got to the vent late when everything was practically over. He realized that he promised the girl that he was going to bring back something for her and the first stall he had visited was not customer friendly. He learns don't make promises, don't depend on people for much, plan better and get to events earlier
