The shops in Paris represent Drioli’s interests and needs. For example, when Drioli walks past a restaurant and smells chicken, he feels “yearning” (517), which shows that Drioli is starving. Furthermore, he ignores luxury goods stores, showing that material goods do not interest him. When Drioli stops at the art gallery, the reader learns that Drioli’s only passion is art.
