The short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” written by Joyce Carol Oates, describes how an apparently perfect girl, Connie, is terrorized by a strange, evil-like man, Arnold Friend. This short story contains a lot of symbolism referring to the devil and evil. Friend being the devil, and Ellie being his accomplice. The now traditional symbols of evil are Satan and his demons. A demon, according to some, is short, ugly, and has horns on top of its head. The “demon” of this story, Arnold Friend, fits this description fairly well. He is described as being short, looking ageless, and having a fake appearance.
