Dubliners

in

1914,

it

is

James

Joyce

youth

to

create

a

collection of short stories, is set in Dublin, vividly depicted in the early

19th century Dublin street life of the people with a variety of mentality,

and

also

reveals

in

the

social

life

is

a

kind

of

insensitive

and

lifeless.

is

the

third

piece

in

the

collection,

vividly

describes

a

child

to

obscure

the

romance

of

and

disillusioned

pursuit.

In

the

novel

the

most

obvious

feature

is

the

spirit

of

Joyce

use

a

novel

insight

to

show

character complex thoughts and feelings.

Work is the leading role of the writers the externalization of themselves.

sense,

we

say

is

Joyce

’

s

childhood

experiences and emotions, is the first love of Joyce.

First love is usually good. This from the title of the article we can

see the author's intentions. The word Araby contains quite rich. As early

as when

Napoleon conquest of Egypt, Araby became synonymous with

romance in the Middle East, has the different region amorous feelings of

Arab and the infinite charm of Oriental world. Joyce used it as a subject,

and it is not only used as the name of a shopping mall, Dublin is more use

of

the

name

to

us,

also

symbolizes the protagonist exploration and pursuit of the goal. He is to
