Review
Is This An Overview?
The narrator is infatuated. An infatuation that provides meaning to the days, and tries to seep out. It turns out that the person whom the narrator is infatuated with, is a nun. A disappointment, but the infatuation does not readily subside. The nun suggests going to the bazaar, to Araby, but the nun cannot go. The narrator decided to go, and get something for the nun. An uncle was supposed to take the narrator to Araby, but failed in this duty. The narrator goes to the market by oneself. Arrives at the bazaar late. The stalls closed. At an open stall, the narrator buys nothing. Why does the narrator not buy anything?
