Detailed explanation-1: -In “Araby, ” why does the narrator want to go to the bazaar? The young narrator in “Araby” wants to buy something at the bazaar for Mangan’s older sister, with whom he is infatuated.
Detailed explanation-2: -One morning, Mangan’s sister asks the narrator if he plans to go to Araby, a Dublin bazaar. She notes that she cannot attend, as she has already committed to attend a retreat with her school.
Detailed explanation-3: -The narrator’s uncle in “Araby” is an interesting antagonist because he wanted and promised to give the narrator the money he needed for the bazaar, and he only foils his nephew’s plans by accident. Further, the story never explains why the narrator is being raised by his aunt and uncle instead of his parents.
Detailed explanation-4: -The narrator arrives late to the bazaar because his uncle was late giving him money for the train. This adds desperation by making the narrator more anxious to get the gift.
