In James Joyce's "Araby," the following two options contribute significantly to the development of the narrator's character:

  1. Descriptions of the narrator's surroundings - The setting plays a crucial role in shaping the narrator's experiences and perceptions, reflecting his inner emotional landscape and the constraints of his environment.

  2. The narrator's inner thoughts and feelings - These provide insight into the narrator's aspirations, disappointments, and the themes of innocence and disillusionment, which are central to his character development.

These aspects combine to illustrate the complexity of the narrator's journey and his coming-of-age experience.
