Araby is a short story by the famous Irish stream-of-consciousness writer James Joyce. Through a series of images, the novel expresses the theme of the story: the “mental paralysis” of Dubliners and the “spiritual Epiphany” of the little boy, which reflects the spiritual barren of Dubliners at that time. Through the analysis of the symbolic meaning of many images in the work, this paper reveals the social background and religious significance hidden behind the images.
