THE OPINIONS AND REMARKS FOR UNDERSTANDING James Joyces Araby
The story, "Araby" by James Joyce, is a short story about a young boy's life and his quest to impress the young girl for whom he has feelings. The protagonists to the young boy, including the young girl, are the boy's uncle, and the people at the Bazaar booth. The initial point of conflict occurs when the girl informs the boy that she cannot attend the bazaar, as she has every other year. "She could not go, she said, because there would be a retreat that week in her convent" (Joyce 106). The plot becomes more complicated when the boy offers to bring her a momentum from the bazaar. The night in which he is to attend, his uncle returns from work at a later hour than usual which causes the boy to have less time at the bazaar. Then, when he approaches one of the booths at the bazaar, there are people having a conversation inside. This complicates things because he wishes not to disturb them. "Then I turned away slowly and walked down the middle of the bazaar" (Joyce 108).

So in the end, the boy is left with anger and emptiness because he has not kept his prom
" Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism. "Characeter Through Tone in 'Araby. Atherton's reasoning for the change of character from father to uncle is assumed to be as a result of the fear that the uncle portrays.

"The narrator of "Araby" - the narrator is the boy of the story now grown up - lived, like Joyce, on North Richmond Street," (Stone 169). Another resemblance of the story to that of the author's life is the town bazaar that they both attend at a young age. One of the most distinct changes is in the roles of his aunt and uncle whom the young boy resides with.
