Question

Select the correct text in the passage. In James Joyce's "Araby," the narrator uses light and dark imagery to set the tone and mood of the story and also to describe the nature of life on the street on which he lived. Which word from this excerpt indicates the street’s dead-end location and its dullness? North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free. An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.

Answer 1

Answer:

Blind street is one of the subjects shows the road's impasse area and its bluntness. Dublin's North Richmond Street is an impasse in the story and, all things considered. Joyce proposes with "Araby" that the young men playing in the road are going no place. They will grow up to live in the equivalent grim Dublin, with its troubling climate, horrid individuals, and dreary houses.
