Explanation and Analysis:

“A Little Cloud” takes place in Dublin, Ireland, moving from Little Chandler’s place of work (King’s Inn, a legal institution), the streets of Dublin, a fancy restaurant, and his modest house. Joyce pays close attention to the geography of the city, naming actual streets in downtown Dublin like Capel and Henrietta.
