Can someone help me out and elaborate on this, Joyce is very hard to read and I can't seem to get it
1.Reread the first and last paragraphs. Note similarities, repetition. Relate the use of the word “blind” for a dead end street to the boy’s situation at the end of the story.
2. Why do his eyes burn with “anguish” and “anger”? What is his epiphany?
3. What modern themes are present?
That seems easy homework. Just read Araby again. Is it the word epiphany you don't understand?
Epiphany. What you had when you discovered Santa wasnae real.Thanks for the tunes Ennison. Morag came with them tonight. I really like your "Welcome to Ali Beag"
Fine Eiseabhal. That's only four measures. I have another two but I keep altering them. Joyce was fascinated by the idea of epiphany. It is present all through his work. Dubliners is great stuff. As he went on though I liked him less. Ulysses is very clever but it doesn't make me feel the same as the short stories.
The Dead is a fantastic story. I like The Portrait. But Tigh-Aire Fionn Againne ?? Might as well end with And then I woke up Agus cha robh ann ach bruadar.
