"Araby" by James Joyce

On a note before I tell my feelings of this read, I have noticed many failed or complicated relationship stories leading me to believe that bany writers have a history o terrible relationships. Anyway, I read Araby and I believed the girl to have some kind of motive to lead him on a little. I would like to say that the boy was a bit rash and quick to act as well. Manipulation knows no sexual boundaries yet I witness it more in women than men for some reason which of course leads me to believe that this poor lad was tricked with notions of love. The fact that he had no money saved him from his fate. Different read, but still not to my liking yet.
