I forgot to include these last sentences. Thank you.
1) What does the world outside her window remind Eveline of?/ OR make her think about? (both possible?)
2) Eveline and the other children used to play and shelter by vigilance against her father, who used to interfere with and spoil their play.
3) Eveline notices the picture of a priest, which has become a yellowing photograph.
4) The reader becomes aware of the end of Eveline's dreams about an alternative life linked to love and freedom.
5) Whose point of view is adopted? Eveline's. What kind of technique is adopted to give voice to Eveline's thoughts? Free indirect thoughts.
6) "Epiphany" is both a recurrent theme in Joyce's Dubliners and a narrative technique Joyce adopts to express the character's consciousness (taking the reader beyond the usual aspects of life).Do you agree with me on that???
7) An epiphany describes a sudden revelation in the everyday life of the characters caused by a trivial gesture, an external event or a bad situation which leads them to a more profound understanding of themselves and the situation in which they live. 8) The characters, however, don’t act upon this realization but passively continue with their lives as before.
1. both, yes
2. I don't understand this: "used to play and shelter by vigilance against her father"
3. OK
4. OK
5. OK
6. OK
7. OK
8. comma after "realization"
1) Both options are possible. The world outside her window can remind Eveline of something or make her think about something. To determine what specifically it reminds her of or makes her think about, you would need to analyze the context and descriptions in the story.
2) Eveline and the other children used to play and seek shelter from Eveline's father, who would interfere with and spoil their play. The details about Eveline's father's interference can be found in the story itself. To understand this part of the story, you can refer to the specific passages where the interaction between Eveline, the other children, and her father is described.
3) Eveline notices a picture of a priest, which has become a yellowing photograph. This detail is mentioned in the story. To understand its significance, you can consider how Eveline's perception of the priest and her past experiences are reflected in the mention of the yellowing photograph.
4) The reader becomes aware of the end of Eveline's dreams about an alternative life linked to love and freedom. This realization is conveyed through the narrative choices made by the author. To understand this, you can look for clues in Eveline's thoughts, actions, and the overall tone of the narrative as the story progresses.
5) The point of view adopted in the story is Eveline's. This means that the story is primarily narrated from her perspective. To identify this, you can pay attention to the pronouns used, the insights provided into Eveline's thoughts and emotions, and the overall focus on Eveline's experiences.
6) The statement you made about "epiphany" being a recurrent theme in Joyce's Dubliners and a narrative technique used by Joyce to express the character's consciousness is subjective. Different readers may have different interpretations of the recurring themes and narrative techniques in Joyce's work. It would be helpful to provide specific examples and evidence from the text to support your argument.
7) An epiphany in the context of the story refers to a sudden revelation experienced by the characters in their everyday lives. This revelation is often triggered by a seemingly trivial gesture, an external event, or a difficult situation. It leads the characters to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the situation they are in. This interpretation aligns with the common understanding of epiphany in literary analysis.
8) The characters in Joyce's Dubliners often have these realizations but do not take active steps to change their lives. They continue to live passively, unchanged by the newfound understanding. This observation is supported by the characterizations and actions of the various characters in the collection.
