I would describe the boy from the novel “Arby” by James Joynce as someone vulnerable and emotional. He got lost in his feelings and lust for his friend’s sister. He has never experienced this feeling and he doesn’t know the proper way to express it. He created a fantasy in his head he believed would work and at first, he seemed like he received some thrill or rush from it but reality hit, and he realized he started to lose himself. I believe the message the narrator was trying to convey is getting lost in your emotions is possible. Make impulse decisions will always have a consequence and lesson. It’s up to you on which one you’re willing to receive and what effect you allow that emotion to have after something happens. Life is already unpredictable.
