Joyces life, ‘Eveline and ‘Dubliners
"Eveline" is the story of a young teenager facing a dilemma where she has to choose between living with her father or escaping with Frank, a sailor which she has been courting for some time. The story is one of fifteen stories written by James Joyce in a collection called "Dubliners". These stories follow a certain pattern that Joyce uses to express his ideas: "Joyces focus in Dubliners is almost exclusively on the middle-class Catholics known to himself and his family"(the Gale Group). ... Joyce could have related his childhood days when his family was in some financial crises to the family background of Eveline in the story: "but the [Joyces] family fortunes took a sharp turn for the worse during Joyces childhood" (Gale Group). From the story, we are told that it is from this misery, and her fathers attitude that Eveline decides she would leave home, although, she does not leave at the end of the story. ...
In order to be consistent with the connection between Joyces past experience and ‘Eveline, we could take a look at ‘The boarding house and still notice the presence of his writing style. ‘Eveline and ‘The boarding house are two stories written by Joyce, where he writes about the effects of the Irish society on the young girls. ...
‘Eveline and ‘The boarding house offers two portrayals of women
whose lives are structured and controlled by the stigma of femininity
attached to them by the stigma of their patriarchal societies. ... Eveline comes from a strongly catholic family, her mother was catholic while she was alive, and Harry, her brother, is in the church decorating business.
