The narrator of the short story Araby by James Joyce, is told by a young boy who lives with his aunt and uncle. In the first two paragraphs the narrator begins the story by describing the street where his house is located, North Dublin Street. He continues by recalling that the previous tenant, a priest, died in one of the rooms of the house. In the last sentence of paragraph two, he goes on to mention how he was a very charitable priest because he left all the furniture he owned to his sister and all his money went to charity. As the story continues, in section two of the story, which begins in paragraph three, we read, “When the short days of winter came. . . ,” the narrator of the story, who never identifies himself, asks him if he can come home early to provide him with money for the event. When dinner ended and a guest who had come to visit him left, the boy impatiently began to look at the clock, reassuring himself that it was still early. As time passed and his uncle was away from home, the boy's aunt told him that it would be better to forget his visit to Arabia. After enduring a very long time, his uncle finally returned home at exactly nine o'clock. His uncle told the boy that he had forgotten about his plan and apologized for his late arrival. This section ends with the fifteenth paragraph, when the boy leaves the kitchen just as his uncle is about to recite the first lines of the poem The Arab's Farewell to His Steed.

His love for her is so vast and innocent, that he doesn't know what these strong feelings of attraction towards the girl mean. He adores her from afar and doesn't dare speak to her even once. The narrator even says that her image accompanied him wherever he went: "His image accompanied me even in the places most hostile to romance." This meant that at all times Mangan's sister was occupied with her mind even in the most remote areas. One day she finally talks to him and reveals that she would like to go to Arabia, but she can't do it because she will be attending a retreat. Hearing this, the boy immediately tells her that he will bring her something. In this part of the story it can be seen that the boy enters a phase of desperation as he agonizes impatiently until the day of the bazaar. He doesn't pay attention during class and even admits that school work just kept him from thinking about Mangan's sister. His anguish becomes even greater when the day of the bazaar finally arrives. The morning of the bazaar, the young people
