Many people interpret Arnold Friend as the devil, and I would have to agree. The entire story has religious implications so I would not say it is taken out of context if you refer to him as the devil. There are several points that can be made that relate him to the ultimate evil, read carefully and you will find all of them. I am about to write an essay about it myself and it is very interesting when you sit down and analyze it yourself.

Yes, Arnold Friend is often interpreted as a symbolic representation of the devil in the short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" His manipulative and predatory nature, along with his supernatural knowledge of Connie, support this interpretation.
