The significance of the Araby bazaar in Joyce's story primarily lies in how "It represents the narrator's desire for an exotic, romantic escape." The bazaar symbolizes the allure of the outside world and the protagonist's longing for adventure and experiences beyond the mundane, yet it ultimately conveys the theme of disillusionment when his dreams are unmet.
