In the story of ” Araby” by James Joyce it was around the young boy and his friend’s sister. Like how he promised that his friend’s sister whom he was attracted that he will bring gift for her from Araby bazaar. Firstly, he was just thinking about Mangan’s sister but now he started thinking about the Araby bazaar.He was so excited to go there and see because according to his thinking he thought that bazaar would be big and fancy. But one day when he went there he get disappointed by looking at the bazaar because that place normal. So, his feelings got hurt. I personally linked to this story. I ordered one dress from India. In the picture the dress looks so beautiful and pretty. SO, I ordered without even thinking of a second. When that dress arrived. Then I got disappointed because in the picture it looks good but not in real. It means when things are not upto are expectations we always get hurt,

HI Harsneh
I agree with you that when you expect something wonderful to come to you, the reality usually won’t be as valuable compared to your expectation. We all feel hurt; we are all like the little boy who tries to give everything just for a smile from the girl. However, expectations will tell us that it is not worth doing.
I’m not sure the disappointment in an ordered dress is comparable to the anguish felt by the narrator at the end of “Araby.”
