”Araby” is a powerfully emotional story. In my point of view, this reading represents the confrontation of a child with frustration who plays in the street, that is, he is very young, and he cannot get what he wants because he does not depend on himself but rather on his uncle to go to the bazaar. He wanted to go to the bazaar because the girl he liked wanted to go, he saw this as an opportunity to win his heart to buy her a gift since she wanted to go to the same place. He is probably in a hurry and perhaps time will give him an answer since he was short of money and understanding that this was the main conflict of this reading, it may also be that the boy is vain and wants to conquer the girl with details. However, this reading can perhaps indicate how we are maturing from youth to adulthood.

This is a good point of view. I think the protagonist was very frustrated when he wanted to go the bazaar and he was counting on his uncle to get home early so he can go to the bazaar but at the end his uncle ended up arriving home extremely late . He was very delusional that his uncle would get home and be able to go to the bazaar to get his friend’s sister a gift to win over her heart. What if he did really make it on time and bought that present you think there would’ve been a connect between them ?
