When the story opens, the narrator describes the street where he lives, namely, North Richmond Street, which is a now well-known road in Dublin, Ireland. The narrator also references the Christian Brothers' School, which opened in 1829 on North Richmond Street. This detail helps to confirm that we are in Dublin, Ireland's capital city. The story appears in James Joyce's collection called The Dubliners, which was published in 1914. However, the story itself was written around 1905 (and this is when it seems to take place).
The story is written in a first person objective point of view, meaning that the narrator is a participant in the story's events and is narrating them after the events of the story have taken place. He uses past tense verbs to tell this story of his childhood love and disappointment and to describe how he came to a more accurate understanding of his place in the world.
