Detailed explanation-1: -Why did the narrator have to wait to go to the bazaar? He had to wait for his sister to get home.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -How does this add to the narrator’s desperation to get to the bazaar? 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The narrator arrives at the bazaar only to encounter flowered teacups and English accents, not the freedom of the enchanting East.
