The title “Eveline” focus on Eveline’s characterization. But the reader, only with the name Eveline, doesn’t undestand how the protagonist is described.

 The text is divided into nine paragraphs, each of which describes Eveline’s life. Eveline sits at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. She remembers the past and the village has changed from the past. After her mother’s death, she left her home and went to Buenos Ayres with Frank. She quarrelled with Frank and she met another love: Harry. When she comes back home, she feels nostalgic for her old home.

The narration is a third person one and the reader has a total access to Eveline mind because the third person speaks from the point of view of the character. Indeed Eveline is characterizated by her mind. We doesn’t find a physical description but we find the Eveline’s thought thanks to which the reader can know her life and her condition. Indead, the stream of counciosness is given voice through the interior monologue and so Eveline takes part in Modernism.

From the beggining, the writer uses only impression verbs, there are not verbs of action. The only verbal form used is the past and the progressive. They give movement to the text.  Indeed, Eveline is always moving. Only in the first paragraph, Eveline is still, in the others she moves in different places. Eveline lives the past with her hand and she is in the present with her body.

The principal setting is Eveline’s mind. At the first Eveline is situated in a room and then she says that she went to Buenos Ayres but there aren’t defined places where Eveline creates her actions. So the setting is her mind. The reader can understand the inner characteristics of the protagonist through reading is mind.
