Dubliners‚ he creatively exercises figural narration to portray different views of the character’s identity in the story "Eveline‚" but he chooses to use first-person narrative in "Araby" creating a contrast in the exposition of the characters in the two stories. In the story of "Eveline‚" Joyce uses figural narration to give the reader a chance to explore the character‚ Eveline‚ and interpret her identity however they want.

Premium Narrative Dubliners Fiction
In James Joyces Dubliners the use of irony and sensory disconnect are what structure the recurring themes of the stories. The themes include entrapment‚ with escaping routine life for its horrors‚ misery‚ and agony. The stories Eveline‚ Araby‚ A Painful Case‚ and The Dead all end in epiphany. Dubliners experience a climactic moment in their lives to bring them change‚ freedom and happiness‚ although these moments bring none of those. All characters fall into paralysis from not being able to leave

In “An Encounter” and “Araby‚” what are supposed to be fun adventures for the protagonists both end up unfulfilling and ultimately corrupting. In “An Encounter‚” it is the contact with a disturbing older resident of Dublin that brings the loss of innocence to the main character. The man is clearly malicious and set out to exploit the purity of the kids; the casual and nonchalant title of the story suggests that “An Encounter” like this one isn’t atypical of Dublin. In “Araby‚” we expect the main character’s

Whether these women are trapped in a world of political‚ religious‚ or marital unrest they can ’t seem to escape‚ or are the primary focal point for the male narrator‚ these prominent women serve as imperative roles in the major themes of Dubliners. Eveline‚ Maria and Gretta are Joyce ’s attempts to place women into a society he believes functions better without a marital institution.
