Detailed explanation-1: -“Eveline” addresses the subject of death both literally, as when Eveline lists off the people in her life who have died, and figuratively, in several other life events that become metaphors for death. She seems to be very aware of death, and the fact that she has been left behind, either by people dying or leaving.
Detailed explanation-2: -James Joyce himself wrote, “I call the series Dubliners to betray the soul of that . . . paralysis which many consider a city.” Joyce believed passionately that Irish society and culture had been frozen in place for centuries by two forces: the Roman Catholic Church and England.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eveline faces a difficult dilemma: remain at home like a dutiful daughter, or leave Dublin with her lover, Frank, who is a sailor. He wants her to marry him and live with him in Buenos Aires, and she has already agreed to leave with him in secret.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation and Analysis: Like the rest of the stories in Dubliners, “Eveline” takes place in early 20th-century Dublin, James Joyce’s place of origin. Published in 1914, it captures Dublin during the rise of Irish Nationalism, a time characterized by great change, transformation, and a search for identity.
