Araby is about a young boy who falls for a girl who is Mangan's sister and lives across the street. He will do anything to win her over. When the girl expresses her desire to attend a particular bazaar, he sees this as the perfect chance to win her heart by visiting the bazaar and bringing back a gift for her. When the narrator's hopes of Araby are dashed, he finds that reality does not always match his expectations, it's a loss of innocence. | |||

==Explanation of the Story's Title== | |||
The title "Araby" as you can point out in the book on page 39, says it is a bazaar, meaning a market. In other words the bazaar represents the narrator's wish to escape the drab monotony of life in Dublin. | |||
