Abstract
This paper describes the lead character of the story, Eveline. It illustrates her as a girl who is in search of a better life and wants to escape from the typical problems of the lower class. The theme of the story is based on the hopes and dreams of Eveline and her efforts to improve her lifestyle.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the story, the author portrays the scene in a very interesting style ?She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains, and in her nostrils was the odor of dusty cretonne.? By saying that the girl is watching outside the window and that she is tired, gives the impression to the reader that she is not satisfied with her current lifestyle and that she wants to escape from it. Such impressions can also be found in other similar stories written by Joyce. As the scene portrayed by the author is of a dark evening and the surrounding atmosphere is described as dull, it gives the impression of depressing and hostile environment throughout the story."

Abstract
An essay which examines the internal conflict that paralyzes the female protagonist, Eveline, in the novel "Dubliners" by James Joyce, as she stands upon the event horizon of a new life, and a new set of possibilities. It shows that at this particular moment in her life, Eveline finds herself at a crossroads, considering whether or not she should leave her home and her abusive, alcoholic father in order to travel to a far away and exotic land to begin a new life, full of promise and hope.
From the Paper
"In the end, these dramatic feelings and impulses were not suggestive of Eveline";s resolve to change her life, but instead, they were evidence of her desperate inward struggle to convince herself that she could be someone else. She was fighting for her life at that very moment, more passionately than she had ever fought before. But, as we have seen, she was struggling against the oppressive weight of her memories, her social responsibility, and her own self definition, all of which would work against her and work to sabotage any attempt she might make to seek happiness, a new life, and ultimately salvation."

Abstract
This paper presents the tools by which Joyce leads the reader to the seemingly surprise ending. The author points out the use of characterization, diction, imagery and sentence length variation. The author gives the example of short, complete sentences, used in short succession, such as ?Everything changes? and ?Home!?, creates a mood of intensity and expectation.
From the Paper
"This information suggests that for Eveline to leave her home, with all of its importance to her, would be a hard choice indeed. By using these short, attention-catching sentences that deal with her home, amidst a sea of average and longer sentences, the narrator accomplishes two purposes. He both introduces a foreshadowing of a surprising element in the story and continues to key the reader to important information about Eveline and her feeling towards her environment."

"Eveline", 2002.
Examines the theme of isolation in James Joyce's story.

Abstract
James Joyce?s ?Eveline? is a story about the ways in which people try to connect to each other and the poor job that they generally make of the process. While Joyce seems at first to be trying to write a story about people attempting to communicate with each other, by the end of the story, what we are left with is an impression of the ways in which people are isolated from each. The paper explains that this isolation seems to arise because of the preconceptions that the characters have of what certain kind of people should be like. But it also arises as a result of the ways in which life?s tragedies accumulate over time to create barriers between people that are impermeable even to far more genuine attempts to communicate than we see in this story.
From the Paper
"Eveline?s strong emotional connection to her mother is the most important emotional dynamic that we read about in this story: We sense a depth of love here that seems much deeper than that which Eveline feels towards her fianc?. We wonder if this is because the love between women in this world is always something that will be greater than the love between a man and a woman (because men and women are always essentially antagonists). Or it may be that Eveline?s love for her mother seems far deeper because it was one based on a real and enduring relationship. Eveline?s love for her fianc? seems much less based in reality but rather on an idealized belief in the importance of marriage and the goodness of men."

Abstract
This paper presents the writer?s opinion about the characters in two books being trapped by their families. The writer uses Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and James Joyce's "Eveline" to illustrate the way a person can be trapped by families and obligations. The characters of Eveline from "Eveline" and Biff from "Death of a Salesman" are compared and contrasted for the way in which they are entangled in seemingly hopeless situations because of their families.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature writers depict an underlying theme that they may not even have been aware of when they wrote the piece of literature. Eveline in James Joyce's "Eveline" and Biff in Miller's Death of a Salesman the authors depict and portray characters who are ultimately trapped by their families with no way out. While the story does not directly address their entrapment it is obvious when one studies the fabric of their lives that they were indeed trapped by family for different reasons and circumstances."

Abstract
This paper reviews the short story, "Eveline" by James Joyce and examines his use of literary techniques to portray the correctness of Evilene's decision to stay in the only home that she has ever known. The paper explains that through his use of imagery, tone, characterization and descriptive language, Joyce portrays the inevitability of Evilene's ultimate decision.
From the Paper
"Standing among the crowd at the North Wall station, Eveline feels she must make a momentous choice. Will she leave Ireland for Argentina with the man she loves, or will she stay to care for what is left of her family? Joyce's protagonist anguishes over this decision in the short story bearing her name. But before she arrives at a judgment, the reader already knows her inevitable verdict. Joyce's use of vivid although dreary descriptive language to portray Eveline's existence in Ireland contrasts with his vague but happier images of her planned life with Frank. Contrasting these sections of the story tells the reader Eveline's decision before she knows she has made it."

Female Protagonists in Patriarchal Societies, 2008.

Abstract
This paper analyses three stories - "Eveline", "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "The Storm", which offer three different types of central female characters. Nonetheless, the three characters have several important common features. The paper states that all three of their stories take place in the same period of time, i.e. late 19th century and early 20th century. This was a time of constraint and hardships for women, who were subjected to the will of their husbands or fathers, and regarded as inferior citizens whose activity outside the home was severely limited. Also, these three women are faced with key events which will alter the course of their lives. And finally, the paper asserts that perhaps the most important aspect they share is their willingness, at least up to a certain point, to challenge social norms and conventions. Moreover, the three protagonists could be seen as three instances of courage and rebellion in patriarchal, conformist societies.
From the Paper
"The protagonist is very creative; she loves her husband but also loves her freedom and the connections with the world outside of her home. She does not refuse to fulfill her domestic duties, but wants to be able to express herself creatively as well. Suffering from post partum depression, the protagonist relies precisely on her creative power in order to heal, but her husband, who is also her doctor, prescribes her exactly the opposite, meaning total mental inactivity. This impossibility of self-expression leads her into a world of fantasy that would eventually lead to madness. The fixation with the yellow wallpaper covering the walls of her room soon becomes her escape, a door into a world she imagines, with a woman hiding behind it- a projection of self. Her insanity is a direct result of the fact that she is not allowed to be in control of her mind and emotions; she is ordered to heal according to someone else's perception of life and what is normal. Her condition as a woman in society keeps her from living the life she longs for and from fulfilling her needs as a writer; she is confined to her role as society envisions it, i.e. of wife and mother, trapped in the domestic universe."

Women in 19th Century Literature, 2002.
This paper discusses the short stories, ?The Yellow Wallpaper? by Charlotte Gilman, ?The Storm" by Kate Chopin, and ?Eveline? by James Joyce, which depict women's lives in the 19th century society.
1,330 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 44.95

Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes each of these short stories. The author feels that all of the three woman protagonists in the short stories represented women empowerment in their own manner, who achieved liberty to become themselves by going against the norms of the society, and by defying the people and the society that continue to repress them as free women in their respective societies.
From the Paper
"?The Storm? also is a story that talks about women empowerment through freedom to express repressed love and longing for one?s true love. Calixta, the protagonist in the story, is a hardworking housewife, who experienced her ?life-changing? experience one day, when a storm has occurred in their place. The storm in the story signifies the ?turbulent? events that happened between Calixta and her old love, Alcee, when both experienced freedom for once in their lives and were able to release their love for each other, after they made love during the storm. Calixta?s old lover represents the wrong decisions and regrets that she had made in her life. The fact that both Calixta and Alcee were married when they had committed themselves to make love is a radical expression and defiance to the society?s norms about fidelity and trust to one?s spouse. Instead of looking at Calixta somewhat condemningly after she had committed ?adultery? by making love with a married man like Alcee, what the readers will feel is that their brief encounter with each other, their brief expression of love for each other is justified."

Abstract
This paper discusses the notion of the outsider in Joyce's "Dubliners" in relation to the individual's plight in society. Through the historical context of late 19th century Dublin, the paper goes on to discuss the paradoxical concept of the outsider being trapped firmly within their psychological and social boundaries.
From the Paper
"Brunsdale unites Joyce's identities as writer and as foreigner thus: 'like many of his literary compatriots, Joyce wrote in English but felt in Irish, though it took a long time for him to admit it' . Joyce's own sense of alienation, in combination with an Ireland striving to maintain an individual identity against Imperial Britain, motivated his sequence of short stories, Dubliners . Through this work, Joyce interlaces states of external and internal being, both in society and in the individual's consciousness."

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper discusses James Joyce's use of epiphanies in Dubliners, most specifically in Eveline, Araby, and The Dead, and analyzes how these epiphanies are coupled with the frustrating awareness of the characters of their powerlessness to do anything about the sudden insights they have gained.

Love in James Joyce's "Dubliners", 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses love in James Joyce's "Dubliners", through the analysis of selected stories: "Araby", "Eveline", "A Painful Case" and "The Dead". It looks at how his love stories reflect his attitude towards Dublin (harsh, not softened or sweetened) and for that reason they rarely have "happily ever after" type endings. The paper moves chronologically through the book and shows how the book also proceeds chronologically in terms of the age of characters (Joyce's idea) who steadily grow older story by story, to represent the different facets of a Dubliner's life.
From the Paper
"?Araby? is one of Joyce?s stories of childhood, of childhood love. Even the setting is so hopelessly idealistic: ?The space of sky above us was the color of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns. The cold air stung us and we played till our bodies glowed? (24). This boy, who has fallen in love with his friend Mangan?s sister, is completely desperate for her: He follows her in the shadows as though she were a ?summons to [his] foolish blood,? his ?heart leaped? at the very sight of her on the doorstep, his ?body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires? (25). When they finally talk to one another, she tells him she would like to go to the bazaar, but can?t."

Dublin in James Joyce's 'Dubliners': A City of Paralysis, 2000.
Examines the theme of paralysis in the book 'Dubliners'.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the theme of paralysis in "Dubliners", a collection of short stories by James Joyce. It begins with a description of the religious, economic, cultural, and political oppression in Dublin. It then specifically expands on several of the stories in the collection: ?The Sisters,? ?Araby,? ?Eveline,? ?Two Gallants,? and ?The Dead.? Finally, the paper examines Joyce?s writing style.
From the Paper
"James Joyce constructed a collection of short stories intended to present the city of Dublin during the early twentieth century in a straightforward manner. The theme of paralysis permeates the work to show the city as well as the whole of Ireland as oppressed by religious, economic, cultural, and political circumstances. Every story in the collection, beginning with ?The Sisters? and continuing to the final revelation in ?The Dead,? is infused with this theme. Joyce himself admitted to the ?special odor of corruption which, I hope, floats over my stories? (Grey). He was aware that his tales would be raw, his pictures of Ireland unadorned by compassion. However much he identified with the characters he created, Joyce retained a candor that allowed him to keep ?a style of scrupulous meanness? (Brandabur 8) throughout."

Elements of Fiction in Joyce and Faulkner, 2006.
This paper looks at the elements of fiction that are found in the literary works of Joyce and Faulkner.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of three fictive elements--setting, characterization and point-of-view--in Joyce's 'Eveline' and Faulkner's 'Barn Burning'. The paper explores the importance of these literary devices in making the works in question more resonant with the reader and notes that there are actually excepting, of course, the obvious differences in subject matter many more similarities than differences between the two works. The writer concludes that in the end, each story is as much a marvelously-constructed bit of literature as it is a work of imagination.
From the Paper
"Both Faulkner and Joyce were brilliant story-tellers who knew how to use fictive elements to full effect. The following paper will explore three fictive elements - setting, character and point-of-view - as they are employed by both writers. In particular, the paper will review Joyce's "Eveline" and Faulkner's "Barn Burning" and argue that the differences between the two works begin and effectively end with their subject matter; beyond that, their use of literary technique is arrestingly similar. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of these issues that we now turn. As mentioned above, Joyce's "Eveline" uses three elements of fiction - setting, character and point-of-view - especially well."
