Explores James Joyce's use of the mystical in his two stories 'The Sisters' and 'The Dead.' Describes how Joyce's efforts to illuminate some of the inscrutable mysteries of life by isolating apparently commonplace incidents or objects and investing them with transcendent importance characterize all of the stories in Dubliners.

Defines irony. Examines the ironical structures in the novel The Dubliners, by James Joyce. Concludes that Joyce's modernist sense about reality that gave him the ironic imagination that enabled him to present the true life of the Dubliners.

Examines James Joyce's reflections on female suppression in his work, The Dubliners. Describes how the roles of women in Dublin during the 1800's were very different from the roles women have today. Considers how in the work many of the female characters are ascribed disgusting images or no images at all.

Analyzes Author James Joyce's stories The Encounter and Araby, from The Dubliners. Describes how by the way Joyce writes these stories, one can discern that he is essentially trapped in a personal hell of paralysis, always trying to escape the guidelines of Dublin's strict educational society.

Although "Araby", "Eveline", and "The Dead" from Dubliners by James Joyce are three different stories, the author uses similar elements to convey each message, and so develops a strong connection between chapters.
