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 th
e 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.
In this short story, the strong personality (Larry) took harolds turn in class and was said to be acting modestly. This shows that harold is a reserved person because he let Larry take his turn without any trouble.
