Tarsicius is not even named in the story when the narrator records: “I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes." A second emendation is the expansion of the role of Mrs. Mercer, whom Joyce only mentioned in the story. In the film she confers with the protagonist's aunt over the tea-table. For this dialogue, missing from the "Araby" text, the filmmakers went to ‘‘The

Another significant change from the story in the handling of the Caroline Norton poem ‘‘The Arab's Farewell to His Steed.’’ Joyce merely alludes to the poem, but in the film, the uncle in voice-over recites lines from it, which indisputably link the verses with the young man as he races down Buckingham Street to the special train at Westland Row Station that will take him to Araby.

The Irish
Edition wrote, "The film subtly reveals the deep feelings that weave their way through the boy's consciousness, from his romantic preoccupation with the girl, the initial hope and anticipation of receipt of the money from his uncle so he can buy a gift and on through to the ultimate failure

The filmmakers makes several adroit additions to Joyce's text, including an episode in the schoolroom where a
Christian Brother instructs the boys about the young martyr Tarsicius, whose exploit of carrying the Eucharist to Christian prisoners in Rome is only alluded to in Joyce's text. In fact,
