The story Araby by James Joyce is not a love story as we see in the end. It is more of a life experience story, a story of reality and to talk about how we can be blind from the reality because of simple things or our feelings or expressions, For example he is in love with Magan’s older sister and he is blind from the outside world. Another example is Joyce promises Magan;s older sister that he will buy something for her in Araby, as he sees this as an opportunity to get close to her. At the end he realizes Araby is not the magical place he thought and his eyes burned with anguish and anger. As we can see it more of a life experience where he is blind from the reality because of his love to the girl and he later realizes the truth.
