Detailed explanation-1: -For Joyce’s three major themes in Dubliners are paralysis, corruption, and death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dubliners consists of fifteen short stories. These stories have common themes such as death, routine lifecycle, moral and material paralysis of some characters. Although the stories are about different events and characters, the commonality of aforementioned themes causes coherence in Dubliners in the sense of style.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by the modernist Irish writer James Joyce, concerning everyday events in the primarily lower-middle class life of Dublin.
Detailed explanation-4: -Joyce saw these elements of Irish life as ‘nets’ designed to trap him, but he was determined not to allow himself to be trapped. As he put it: When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion.
Detailed explanation-5: -The writing techniques in Dubliners, such as epiphany, symbolism, dilation of plots, and shift of perspectives, are much geared to Joyce’s literary presentation of Dubliners’ psychological crisis and Dublin’s social chaos.
