Points of discussion: male gaze, the quest (Hero's Journey), setting as character
On a whim, I googled "Mangan's sister" to see what the internet turned up. We know so little about her, and perhaps we ignore her more than we should. Is she more than just a pretty face? Is there something in the text that we can stumble over?
We know that Joyce, as a male author, had issues with women, and dealt with that heavily in his writing. Especially in The Dead. But what about in Araby? Here is an interesting view from someone, who decided to dig a bit deeper and consult female professors.
