∙ 12y agoA narrator, presumably older, relates an incident from when he was young. He tells how he grew up on a dead-end street, which they refer to as a "blind street" in Dublin. He lives with his aunt and uncle and harbors a secret infatuation for his friend Mangan's sister. He does not talk to the girl, but watches her from his parlor in the mornings so that he can leave his house at the same time she leaves from hers and follow her as they walk to school. One day, she asks if he is going to Araby, a fair that will be held in their city. She cannot attend. He promises to bring her back something from the fair. He spends too much money for the train ride there and on the entrance to bring her anything.

∙ 12y agoAraby is a short story by James Joyce, published in his collection, Dubliners. In Araby, a narrator retells how as a young boy in Dublin he was infatuated with his friend Mangan's sister. This infatuation interfered with his school work and preoccupied him. When Mangan's sister finally talks to the narrator, she asks if he is going to the bazaar, Araby. She cannot attend, but thinks it would be wonderful. He promises to go and buy her something. He spends money on the fare to the bazaar, spends extra money to gain admittance, and finds the fair winding down. He does not buy anything for Mangan's sister. He feels a sense of shame at his own vanity.

∙ 12y agoJames Joyce's Araby offers itself up to several differing interpretations. The narrator of the story idealizes his friend Mangan's sister with an all-consuming infatuation. Only at the conclusion of the story does the narrator realize his invented quest to win her affection by buying a gift at the Araby fair is a delusion.
One possible interpretation of what lies at the heart of the story is that the girl represents the Catholic Church. The Irish people's obedience to the Church entrapped middle-class Dubliners and confined them.
Another possible interpretation is that the adult narrator, who looks back on the story, is a fool, repressed and inhibited by overly-harsh notions of propriety and seriousness. The narrator's judgment of his youthful romantic nature ought to be rejected by readers.
