Detailed explanation-1: -According to James Joyce, the “epiphany” is a sudden revelation in which any subject of common life, or a person or an episode becomes “revealing” the true meaning of life to those who perceive their symbolic value.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Araby, the epiphany occurs right at the end as he says: “gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger” (Araby 28). These last sentences symbolize how crushed and hopeless he is, as well as his inability to move forward.
Detailed explanation-3: -Joyce’s A Portrait of The Artist As a Young Man clearly demonstrates such epiphanies to signify the moment when all of a sudden the personae probes into the heart of things and experiences a sudden spiritual manifestation. In the present novel it is used to resolve and resolute a conflict the to be an artist face with.
Detailed explanation-4: -Often, an epiphany begins with a small, everyday occurrence or experience. For example: In the middle of a typical argument with his wife, a man realizes he has been the one causing every single argument, and that in order to keep his marriage, he must stop being such an aggressive person.
