Number of Pages 10

This research paper: 10 pages in length. The character known as Arnold Friend in Joyce Carol Oates' Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? can be considered quite the conundrum, having been the subject of many interpretations; even Oates herself has proclaimed him a "fantastic figure" of many interpretations. But of all these various descriptions, it is the perception of Arnold as "a Dream" and "a Demon" that provides the most insight into Oates' story, allowing the reader to understand Connie's feelings as she develops emotionally into a woman, as well as the obstacles faced because of it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
