Best Answer

In Araby, the narrator suddenly realizes his deep infatuation with Mangan's sister, his fervent love for her, his plans of bringing back a precious gift for her and winning her affection have all been illusions. At the very end of the story, as the fair closes down, he understands he has been blind to the reality of his situation. He will not win over Mangan's sister.
