“Eveline” is a short story taken from J. Joyce's The Dubliners. It underlines J. Joyce's new style of writing: the use of short sentences, the free indirect speech and the use of flashbacks and memories make the reader aware of Eveline's condition of paralysis (and of the other main characters in the collection). The narrator is eclipsed from the story to enlarge the space for character's thought and feelings: the external reality is described from the point of view of the character himself which is a trace of the modern style of writing used by J. Joyce and which will be used from all modernist writers.
