In the short story Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been Joyce Carol Oates shows a clear analogy of a devil-figure in the Character Arnold Friend. Oates shows this resemblance in a number of ways such as the way he looks, his actions, his deceitfulness, and the way he talks to Connie, the early(a) character. I will concentrate on these main come across points to prove that Arnold Friend is not just a devil-figure, that literally the devil in disguise.
Oates describes Arnold as having shaggy, shabby contraband tomentum cerebri that looked crazy as a wig (448) and robed in tight faded jeans stuffed into black, scuffed boots¦and a white pull-over habilitate that was a little soiledÂ. (449) She characterized his nose as commodious and hawklikeÂ. (449) Oates uses the color black several times and black is a symbol of evil demonic things, which are traits of the devil. She also says his hair resembles a wig more than once in the story.
In our description of the devil we see the devil as having horns. The wig could be a cover-up or disguise for the horns of the devil. summation we see the devil having a pointy nose and hawklike is an illustration of pointy. The retentive nose could also symbolize lying or dishonesty.
