This adds to his sense of frustration and anger. (Mulrooney, 1998) Conclusion Clearly, both short stories are showing how Paul and the young boy were influenced by events which unfolded in their lives
Yet, the negative attitudes and perceptions will continually stand in the way of anything he achieves. (Willa, 2009) These perceptions become even more twisted when Paul shifts his views about others who are directly involved in the art world
"It would be a splendid bazaar; she said she would love to go. 'And why can't you' I asked…She could not go, she said, because there would be a retreat that week in her convent" (Joyce)
Even Joyce, himself, found it a problem to use the word "love." When Nora asked him if he loved her responded in a round-about way that he "was very fond of her, desired her, admired and honored her, and wished to secure her happiness in every way; and if these elements were what is called love then perhaps his affection for her was a kind of love" (Ellmann 6)
Similar to Joyce, Murakami uses his novels and short stories as a means of having his characters looking for answers, in his case, "as a psychological frame to look at postmodern consciousness in Japan. He portrays this postmodern consciousness and its dissociative states of being as symptomatic of a loss of connection to the stable and enduring worlds of mythology and the containing structures of culture and family" (Kimbles 11)
Araby" relates the tale of a poor, romantically besotted young adolescent boy who, because he hindered by his relative's slowness, travels with innocent urgency, coins in hand, to an apparently magical carnival to find his "true love," -- only to find instead, behind its tawdry facades, just a squalid, money grasping, sexually tinged reality that frustrates and embitters him. Like other stories by Joyce, this episode traces a modern boy's passage from innocence to experience and exposes some of the pains and complexities of that passage (Wells 127)
This is a sensitive age because the mind is open to experience and knowledge but without reason. The events he experiences are also "well within the framework of ordinary childhood occurrences" (Benstock)
She is that dreamy, lofty image that we all have of a person when we are infatuated with him or her. We read that he thinks of her "in places most hostile to romance" (Joyce 383) and manages to think of her most of the time
