The bazaar is dark and empty; it thrives on the same profit motive as the market place ("two men were counting money on a salver"); love is represented as an empty, passing flirtation.

Not only is the building depicted as old but the former tenant who lived in the house was a priest (p. 169). The settings also move to the bazaar that the boy attends in hopes that he can purchase an item for Mangan’s sister. The bazaar is called Araby, which happens to be the title of the story.

The narrator in Araby is only known to be young, and in the climax at Araby fair, he is—at first—ignored by the young woman working at a stand. After a long journey, he finds himself at a stand selling porcelain vases and flower tea sets and listening into a conversation with its employee and two young men, listening to their meaningless conversation while he waited to find the perfect gift (Joyce). Although it is a small portion of his experience (only taking but a paragraph to explain), it translates as just another letdown as the narrator desperately tries to win over the affection of Mangan’s sister. As explained through a good portion of the story, the narrator has been agonizing over the time spent and wasted by just waiting for the purchase of this gift, so the
