Up to  5 A - Modernist Fiction: V. Woolf and J. JoyceUp to task document list

" Eveline " belongs to
the collection of Novel and Short Stories written by James Joyce. The
text is organised into paragraphs:





1)First one is very short,
it has an introductory function and it gives us some information
relating to Eveline.





2)In the second paragraph
the clacking of footsteps of a passing man remind to her at when she
and all other children of the avenue were young; they used to play
all together in a field where there wasn't any house. In that period
of happiness she reminds that her father  was quite happy too, but
probably it was only because her mother was still alive, it was long
time ago. The avenue was always a little bit more empty for the death
of someone or for the leaving of the others, Eveline wanted also to
go away from that place.





3)Now Eveline is grown up,
she is going to go away like the others. She is at her home and she
is looking family objects with sadness but immediately after her
climate mood changes, she thought at when she was treated badly at
the Store where she worked and also by her father that mistreated
when she was alive her mother too. She notices that her father wasn't
bad and rude with Harry and Ernest because they were boys, not girls.
Remembering all her life Eveline becomes aware that leaving from
there is the right choice.





4)She was about to explore
a new life with Frank, she would go to live at Buenos Aires because
she likes Frank and they go together very well. But when remembers
that her father sometimes was not so bad and considering that now he
was old Eveline is confused, she doesn't know if leaving her home is
the right choice





5)When she is about to get
into the boat she stays on the ground and she doesn't leave with
Frank
