Short story by James Joyce.
This is a story of a young boy who started to develop crush and attraction to a girl. Because of his youth and inexperience about love and life as a whole, he begun to look at her with so much idealism. He thinks of her even in places most hostile to romance. All his actions are caused by this beautiful girl. The main character is definitely in love. He is in the stage of adolescence where he is developing his sexual identity as a young male. The Araby is a bazaar that place a very important event that caused the main character’s discovery of himself and eventually about the painful truths of life. He realized that he brought himself in a state of fantasy and some people actually doesn’t care at all about his feelings. He ended up hating himself for feeling the way he does. This story will appeal most to adolescent readers since this group can best identify themselves with the main character falling in love. Sometimes when we were young, we also have encountered the same situation with the young boy in the story. This stage and experience is universal since everybody has to experience infatuation, that is – young love. Just like the boy our emotions are so intense that we cannot see the realities. But as we wake up with the realization w end up bitter and disappointed. Some people vows not to fall again but some continues and are willing to fall in love all over again.
