The Theme of Quest Explored in “Araby” and Atonement In James Joyce’s “Araby and Ian McEwan’s Atonement both authors express that that the characters mature and grow through quests. In Joyce’s “Araby” the boy goes on a quest to the bazaar to meet Managan’s sisters whom he is very interested in.

created as a result can lead to tension and differences between individuals for years to come. More often than not, one must find a way to be forgiven for what they have done, as only then will they be able to make peace with others and themselves. In Ian McEwan’s Atonement, the injustice that Briony Tallis commits not only influences the lives of those around her but also her own, presenting the idea that in order to achieve forgiveness one must first right one’s wrongdoings and admit the truth of the

Biblical Boundaries The idea of setting boundaries can be seen since the early Christian days, with Jesus Himself setting boundaries. Boundaries, in general, are meant to show where you end and another begins, keeping the good in, the bad out and helping us determine what we are and are not responsible for.
