We follow a boy’s private devotion from a dim Dublin street to the closing lights of a bazaar, tracing how a promise turns wonder into disillusion. The reading brings out the tension between inner vows and everyday delays, and ends with a hard-won flash of self-knowledge.
• North Richmond Street and the priest’s shadow
• First sight of Mangan’s sister across the doorway
• Markets and the chalice of private devotion
• The promise to bring back a gift
• Schoolwork and the drag of waiting
• The uncle’s delay and the missed evening hours
• The train ride and the thinning spell of Araby
• The cold stall, clipped voices, and closed lights
• The final realization of vanity and anger
