Updike's A&P, Joyce's Araby, a Comparison

Abstract: A 5 page essay that analyzes similar short stories by John Updike and James Joyce. In his short story, A & P, John Updike appears to have intentionally patterned his narrative on the famous story by James Joyce, Araby. In each case, the protagonist is a young man, who is compelled by the circumstances of the story to face the differences between reality and his own adolescent notions of women and romance. No additional sources cited.
