Papers on Language & Literature, vol. 27, no. 3, 1991, pp. 381-385. Academic Search Ultimate.0031-1294http://hdl.handle.net/11603/26332[From article]: In his story "Araby" Joyce alludes to a Roman martyr both to designate a comic touch by the narrator and to deepen the themes of disillusionment and deflated romanticism. This purposefully melodramatic allusion also provides another example of how closely religion is woven into Joyce's life and fiction.5 pagesen-USIncluded with permission.
