Number of words: 637 | Number of pages: 3.... try to go to the Araby in order to buy something for her. It was only at the end that he realized that he was “a creature driven and derided by vanity” (Pg. 92). Only then did he really figure out how dumb he was and that he was only thinking with his penis (but I already knew that). So my view of him after the ending was reinforced and even added to my views of his horniness and stupidity.

more lucidly understand this, one must carefully examine some of the
instances at which Dante speaks in her conversation with Mr. and Mrs.
Dedalus, Charles, and Mr. Casey, and re-examine the arguments she makes.
Dante is introduced into the dinner table conversation as a silent
character. However, when the men's conversation turns to the misuse of the
preacher's pulpit, Dante begins her interjections.
