What are the conflicts of the main character in the story "Araby"?

The conflicts in the boy of "Araby" arise between his fantasy and reality. Discontent in his "brown" neighborhood, in his home that once belonged to a dead priest, living with his uncle and aunt, the boy embraces the escape that watching through his window affords him as he can see Magan's sister in her house and watch walk down the street, murmuring like Romeo, "O love! O love!" Also influenced by Sir Walter Scott's romantic tale, "Ivanhoe," the boy imagines himself the knight who seeks the holy grail.  As he shops for groceries, he pretends,

that I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes.Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand.

Engrossed in this fantasy of his idealized love, the boy wishes to take Magan's sister to the bazaar with an exotic name, Araby.  However, she is going on a retreat and cannot accompany him.  So, he promises to buy her something there.  Unfortunately, this plan is foiled by the late return of his uncle who has stopped off for drinks.  Flippantly apologetic, the uncle mocks the intensity of the boy's feelings by asking him if he knows a poem entitled "The Arab's Farewell to his Steed" and gives the boy a coin, always a symbol for pettiness to Joyce.

When the boy arrives at the bazaar, the booths are closed, the conversations are all but exotic as the few remaining gossip.  Fighting back the tears in his Joycean epiphany, the boy realizes his disillusionment and disappointment in the shattering of his fantasy:

Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.
