Ambiguity or fallacy of ambiguity is a word, phrase, or statement which contains more than one meaning. Ambiguous words or statements lead to vagueness and confusion, and shape the basis for instances of unintentional humor.

Explanation:

An ambiguous is a term or expression is unclear and complex, having more than one sense. Uncertainty in literature is often used as a method to produce a comical effect. Ambiguity in English literature is a common method, as many words have different spelling, but similar pronunciation. There are also tons of words with specific definitions (polysemous words). Writers use enigmatic style to play with words and the reader’s attention and creation.

What are the shapes of modern novel in Araby by James Joyce?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Realism, Ordinary Life, Quest for Spirituality

Explanation:

The features of the modern novel like realism, a quest for romantic love, an event of everyday life and frankness in sexual matters are exhibited in the story Araby. In the story, Joyce intends to portray the paralysis of modern life whether it is intellectual, or moral, or spiritual. The story is a depiction of everyday life of Mangan, an ordinary boy becoming an adult who looks back on a maturing experience of his youth. The boy is on a religious or spiritual quest while his sister represents a kind of goddess or an angel to him. The religious imagery indicates the absence of a spiritual vitality from Irish life. The emptiness, the decay and the banal dialogue show how religion is reduced to just empty ritual. The world of romance and imagination of the narrator is marred by the banal and tawdry world of actual experience. The final sentence shows the boy’s epiphany; he has known the absurdity of both Araby and his quest. The blind street and his trip to Araby appeared leading him to somewhere, but in reality, he stands where he began his quest.
