Answer:

ironic contrast between romance and reality. Clearly, at the end of James Joyce's story "Araby," there is a sharp contrast (irony) between the narrator's anticipated wonder and excitement when he reaches the bazaar and his devastating disillusionment when he enters and finds only the trivial rather than the exotic.
