James Joyce’s story “Araby” is about a man’s search for love. A young boy embarks on a perilous journey that all people must undertake at some point in their lives. His vision is clouded by lust, but he thrives on love. He’d fallen for a girl whose toxicity had harmed him. He’s developed an obsession with her, the girl has realized. She begins to notice him running past her every morning, as well as his childish demeanors, which she initially mistook for a crush. This allowed the girl to receive gifts or other benefits from him without having to commit to anything. The narrator is telling a story about what happened in the past. As a result, the ending he chooses is critical. Araby pride and expectations, deduce that the boy was laughing at himself. Araby had made a significant realization. He eventually realized he was more enamored with the girl’s image than with the girl herself.
