Eveline by James Joyce
The narrative of this short story is very subjective, with the title character as a center of consciousness. The author describes the speculations of Eveline, a nineteen year old Irish lass living in sore poverty and at the mercy of a cruel father. ... Eveline reminisces about her childhood and thinks about her ungrateful and violent father and a low-salary job she´s happy to quit, but the actual time frame of the story only stretches from her leaving her home and going to the docks. ... The author shows humane sides of her father who is also a victim of the same calamity as Eveline, in her reminiscense he reads ghost stories for her when she´s sick and puts on her mother´s bonnet in a picnic with the family, to make the children laugh. ... Then Eveline rises in panic, determined to find her happiness with Frank.
