Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?

Analysis essay Please explore one of the following topics more in depth:

1. Analyze the short story as an allegory focusing on the literal and symbolic meaning. This can equate to a coming of age dream like sequence, death-interpreted as literal or figurate, or any other allegorical parallel you can draw. 2. Analyze the archetypical characters that are prevalent in the short story. You may also draw comparisons to other archetypical characters often found in fairy tales, i.e. Little Red Riding Hood.

3. Fully analyze Arnold Friend. Is he the devil? Is he human? Is he a ghost? Who/What is he? What is the significance of his name? 4. Analyze the end of the short story. What happens? Literally, figuratively, how do we know? This is solely based on your interpretations, with support.
