Manfield's "Miss Brill" and Joyce's “Eveline”
Youth and old age are constant themes within the literary traditions that have been created and often help to provide a lens through which conflict and narrative are propelled forward. The conditions of personal experience can, in this way, be juxtaposed with the ideologies and social frameworks that people interact with. The female protagonists of Manfield's "Miss Brill" and
Joyce's “Eveline” can be compared through the ways in which they frame the world around them through narrative. Both individuals are able to expose their underlying mental and psychological processes through the reflections of natural environments that exist within the texts. They

The expectations that they have for the present and future can be framed through the past that they have exposed within the narrative. Understanding such factors can help in the comprehensive analysis of each work. The nature of human thought and yearning as well as the methods through which both

Both must remain home, but while Miss Brill has been devastated at the realization of her lonely nature, Eveline has made the personal commitment towards responsibility towards her promise.

Eveline’s life has been returned to the everyday, despite a promise that it might change. The expectations of each character can be understood through the influence of the narrator's point of view. This exposes a more direct confrontation between their sense of idealism and the conflicts that they face throughout the narratives. The capacity for decision-making is brought to confront the morally direct expectations of personal growth. The reality of each individual can be understood through the expositions that have been constructed
