In the story, “Araby”, the main character can be viewed as a romantic, but impulsive individual. Having a romantic personality led to him having some unrealistic expectations. He grows an attraction towards the sister of his friend, Mangan. Sensitivity seemed like a personality trait as well, based off the way he acted around the girl. He wants to buy a gift for her, rushes to do so, but eventually ends up disappointed. He wanted to get her a gift just so she could like him back, but it’s not that easy, is it? With that being said, he eventually realizes that his feelings were just short-lived and based off a fantasy in his head. It was just physical attraction, nothing more. He also realized that he was just being impulsive and that although all these thing are normal for a young man, he was ready to head into the adulthood chapter of his life.
