        <description><![CDATA[The Dubliners is still early Joyce and we are not yet in the complicated linguistic and stylistic world of A Portrait, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Joyce's attitude to language and style is a very ambivalent one. Is he a proto-poststructuralist who contests the representational powers of language or as Beckett would see him, as someone who could do everything with language. Joyce had been aware of Fritz Mauthner's critique of language and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I couldn't tell you the stories itself because they are complex and extensive, but the stories do portray women as victimized members of society. In some stories, they are victims of disease (cancer), of the government system and the dole, of the wrath of other women, of the abuse of their husbands, of the effects of alcohol in their men, and of their children's lack of respect, and of themselves as well.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The fire in the story is generally taken to represent Irish nationalism, the urge for independence from England. The story is overtly political, based as it is on the canvass for an election, and the various characters express diverse views on the political situation generally as well as on particular political and historical figures. All the while the fire is kept going, actually just about kept going, struggling to stay alight almost. Old...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a very interesting question on a topic that I hadn't thought much about before. Eveline's father and Farringdon (Farrington?) in 'Counterparts' are perhaps the nastiest examples of fatherhood in the collection. Eveline is cowed and dominated by her very demanding father and yet she not only clings to a couple of pleasant childhood memories of him but ultimately cannot leave him because he might really need her. Farringdon, the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Any physical item can serve as a symbol in a great literary work, since great authors choose those details that reflect and resonate with the whole of the work. So keep in mind the global question of why Joyce is even telling us this story, why it matters, and that focus will allow the symbols rise to the surface. Why does this story of a boy and his desire matter to readers today?
A question that is good to ask is, How much is it a symbol...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The most striking similarity between the stories is the stifling gender roles under which the women live in each.  Eveline and Polly both live in households where women must do all that needs to be done with little help from drunken, &quot;disreputable&quot; fathers.  The only escape available to the young girls is marriage.Both Eveline and Polly are carefully regulated in their courtships by their family members and society as a whole. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While it some years since I have read Dubliners in full, I don't recall any passages that could be regarded as stream of consciousness narration. For the most part the stories are told in a fairly conventional, linear narrative style. At some points we are taken more inside a character's head than usual - the boy's ultimate despair and self-criticism in Araby, or Gabriel's self-revelation in The Dead, for example - but even here I would...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In &quot;The Sisters,&quot; the narrator's friend, a priest, has died, no longer associated with the church (a tragedy in such a heavily Catholic country such as Ireland) and alone except for his sisters.  The narrator feels some sense of freedom at the priest's death, but recognizes the deep grief felt by the priest's sisters, who recognize what a &quot;disappointed&quot; man their brother was.&quot;Evaline&quot; is the name of the main...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The cinder path runs &quot;before the new red houses...bright brick houses with shining roofs&quot;, while the concrete pavement lies before the drab &quot;little brown houses&quot; where Eveline lives.  I believe the contrast is meant to accentuate the difference between the old and stagnant, and the new and vibrant elements in Eveline's world.  The concrete path is functional; it is not meant to be pretty.  It might be representative of...]]></description>
