Araby What is the theme in Araby by James Joyce? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:13 Last updated by Cat on 17 Apr 23:29
I think the allure of sexual coming of age juxtaposed with the realities of survival and drudgery in Ireland is the main theme here. The boy loses out on buying his crush something because of the drudgery of everyday life.
