Just as the young boy is betrayed by his physical body when he suffers a nosebleed, the memory is betrayed by a world that contains the ugly reality of the family of bathers. Life is not perfection, nor is it orderliness; instead it is a messy span of seventy or so years, where age reduces beauty to wrinkles and fat, and where the cherished perfection of a newly budded body must be replaced by the casual indifference the fat woman shows as she dumps sand from her bathing suit. Her body is no longer a shrine, but merely a home for her spirit, filled with cracked linoleum and peeling paint.

The boy set out for the Araby bazaar to get something for the girl, but instead of leaving with a gift of some sort, he left with “anguish and anger.” It eventually dawned on him that this love lacks substance. He came to the brutal realization that his efforts have been nothing but follies.  Indeed, Araby is one saddening account of the rupture of a fantasy.

At the end of the story, the boy overhears a trite conversation between an English girl working at the bazaar and two young men, and he suddenly realizes that he has been confusing things. It dawns on him that the bazaar, which he thought would be so exotic and exciting, is really only a commercialized place to buy things. Furthermore, he now realizes that Mangan's sister is just a girl who will not care whether he fulfills his promise to buy her something at the bazaar. His conversation with Mangan's sister, during which he promised he would buy her something, was really only small talk—as meaningless as the one between the English girl and her companions. He leaves Araby feeling ashamed and upset. This epiphany signals a change in the narrator—from an innocent, idealistic boy to an adolescent dealing with the harsh realities of life.

The main protagonist in “A Memory” has a delusion that the world around her is “perfect”. She also has a love interest that she herself has never spoken to nor does she even know his name, and of course vice versa.  She claims that she fell “in love for the first time”  but they only passed by the stairs and touched wrists. However, I doubt the boy in the scenario barely noticed their wrists grazed against each other or brushed it off as an accident. Therefore the love that the girl feels for her love is one-sided.

One of the main themes of Araby is 'growing up'. The persona, who is a grown man who uses mature language to describe his youthful experience, reflects back on his experience with the bazaar, providing small insights from an adult perspective. The fact that the story is told from an adult perspective indicates that the story is about growing up: the narrator is reflecting back on a formative time during his childhood.

Having spent decades in a marriage that was physically close and emotionally fulfilling, Grant struggles with Meadowlake’s policy that he cannot visit Fiona for the first month, calling every day to check on her wellbeing. When he does visit her, he brings flowers. It’s clear to readers that he cares for her deeply and misses having her at home. Overall, Grant consistently thinks of Fiona and treats her with conscientiousness and respect, complicating the simpler view of him as an immoral person who has been unfaithful. This offers Munro’s first suggestion that fidelity is more complex than mere adherence to monogamy.

The boy in Araby was eager to please his love interest and makes the decision of going to the Bazaar to get something for her. Which he later regrets due to the fact that he went in the evening when all the shops were closed and he wasn’t able to get anything. He realizes that he was “driven and derided by vanity.” He thought so much of impressing the girl of his liking that he forgot about reality. He was at first blinded by the desire to get love, then he had a moment of epiphany that the world doesn’t stop for him. He opened his eyes to the harshness of reality.
