        <description><![CDATA[James Joyce's story Araby is apparently a simple enough love-story about an unnamed Dublin boy living in North Richmond Street who falls in love with his playmate Mangan's sister, with whom he hardly meets or talks. But he builds all his idealistic fantasy around her serene image which is his backbone in an otherwise humdrum daily life. His intensity for her grows and becomes laced with a latent sexual charge. Finally the two meet and she...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On the surface, the title 'Araby' refers to a real occasion, an oriental fete being held in the outskirts of Dublin during Joyce's boyhood days. But in this story, the name 'Araby' signifies a land of romance and beauty away from the mundane routine of a city life. The boy's journey to the 'splendid bazaar' is initiated by the suggestion of Mangan's sister, the suggestion breeding in the adolescent mind a great excitement, a passion for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[James Joyce's story, "Araby" is the narrative of a boy who idealizes his love for the neighbor he watches from his window.  Through his glass of romanticized ideas, the boy ignores his "brown" and bleak, winter surroundings and perceives the girl as a maiden for whom he will venture on a "Holy Grail Quest": I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes," he imagines one day at the market.
The word Araby connotes the exotic, the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The boy in Joyce's story 'Araby' refers to early dusk and long winter evenings when he used to play with his friends in North Richmond Street &amp; its adjoining lanes. 'Darkness' is iteratively mentioned as an aspect of the wintry urban setting.
Just before his exchange with Mangan's sister, the boy refers to a rainy evening when, all alone in the upper part of their house, he listened to the sounds of sharp impregnating needles of rains. In...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In his exposition to "Araby," James Joyce plays with light and shadow and color in his description of the boy's neighborhood:

When the short days of winter came dushk gell before we had well eaten our dinners.  When we met in the street the houses had grown sombre.  The space of sky above us was the colour of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns.  The cold air stung us and we played...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Throughout this fascinating short story it is well worth the effort to trace imagery of light and dark and how they are contrasted. It is key that as this short story progresses light is always associated with the hope of the narrator in securing the affections of Mangan's sister, despite the darkness surrounding him:

One evening I went into the back drawing-room in which the priest had died. It was a dark raining evening and there was no...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Araby" is studied as a short story most often because of the gripping epiphany that closes this tale. An epiphany can be defined as a moment of sudden revelation and insight that gives the character self-knowledge or awareness of who they are and their place in the world.
Based on this definition, therefore, "Araby" ends with an epiphany of the narrator where his abortive trip to the bazaar, tinged with magic, mysticism and a romantic quest...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The narrator feels nothing less than a complete childish infatuation with Mangan's sister. He views her with almost saint-like reverence, and indeed, the way she is described through the first person point of view makes her appear ethereal, almost angelic:

She was waiting for us, her figure defined by the light from the half-opened door... Her dress swung as she moved her body and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side.
