Light represents hope, imagination, unrealistic ideas, and the illusion of the narrator, while darkness represents reality, the true nature of things, and despair of the narrator.
Explanation:
The short story "Araby" by James Joyce is a coming-of-age story of a young unnamed narrator who has fantasized a lot about a girl and also about everything that is outside of his reach. This story delves into the theme of imagination vs. reality, where the narrator's wild imagination contrasted greatly with the true nature of the real world.
Symbolism is one style that Joyce used in his short story. He presents the image of light and dark to signify two very different things, as is evident. He uses <u>light to show the illusion, unrealistic ideas, and hope</u> that the narrator has for the much older girl. <u>Darkness, in return, represents the failure, the despair, the reality, and the true nature </u>of the narrator's predicament.
