What is the claim shown in the following excerpt from James Joyce's short story "Araby"? "Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, I quickened my pace and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood." The narrator is trapped in the life that he has chosen. The narrator wants a connection to the girl. The narrator is an introvert who cannot connect to others. The girl is too arrogant to recognize the kindness that surrounds her.
