Question

Which sentence in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" indicates that the bazaar is a place devoted to avarice, or greed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Before a curtain, over which the words Café Chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver.

Explanation:

This sentence illustrates the avarice present in the bazaar. It seems that this place was not meant to sell things for good profits but for greed to be sensed.  Two men were counting some money on a tray , which gives the idea that it was not a lot. Yet, the two men could have felt some pleasure in counting the money from a tray while being at the café.

Answer 2

I would say avarice or greed would be indicated by this sentence: "
Before a curtain, over which the words Café Chantant were written in coloured lamps, two men were counting money on a salver."
