Are there any ironies to Conni'es decision to go with Arnold Friend at the end of the story? To what extent can her surrender be seen as a heroic act?
Her name is connie and no she has nothing to do with wrestling. Maryse is dating the Miz and has been for four years
It's based on the urban legend Babysitter and the Man Upstairs which has been going on since the sixties. While the film came out in '79.

NO This is a fictional Sci-fi horror story and involves the destruction of almost all of the worlds population. It would have been on TV and in the News papers.
"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" is a short story by Joyce Carol Oates that delves into the themes of coming-of-age, power dynamics, and the dangers of naivety. The main character, Connie, represents the typical teenage rebellion and vulnerability, while Arnold Friend symbolizes manipulation and evil disguised as charm. The story explores the complexities of adolescence and the consequences of engaging with predatory individuals.
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.
Connie agrees to go with Arnold Friend because he threatens her family and uses manipulation to prey on her vulnerabilities and insecurities. She is initially seduced by his charm and flattering words, but ultimately feels trapped and compelled to go with him out of fear.
In "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?", biblical allusions can be seen in the character Arnold Friend, who exhibits traits of a demonic figure tempting the protagonist, Connie, similar to how Satan tempts individuals in the Bible. The number 33 on Arnold's car could be a reference to Jesus's age at the time of his crucifixion. The story's themes of innocence, temptation, and sin also draw parallels to biblical narratives.
"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates has been subject to various literary criticisms. Some critics have analyzed the story's themes of innocence versus experience, the portrayal of female adolescence, and the use of symbolism and imagery to explore deeper psychological truths. Others have examined the story's open-ended conclusion and the ambiguous nature of the antagonist, Arnold Friend.
The reader is not exactly sure what Connie's fate is. It is suggested that she is raped and possibly murdered but the author decided not to let us know exactly what happened.

Arnold is 9 in the show, and he would have been 10 in the unfinished "Jungle Movie".
The focus of fans and the media has been on Connie. People are interested in her family, especially her parents but beyond just thumbnail information there hasn't been much publicized. Both of her parents are very supportive of Connie.
Connie's fans hope that Connie's experiences have all been positive. I am sure her family has taken precautions that you would expect for someone well known like Connie. Beyond that I don't know of any danger.
