Unburdened by excessive length and convoluted storytelling‚ James Joyce’s The Dead is able to detail and explore simple and brief‚ though highly intimate‚ moments of visceral human emotion and engage deeply with an array of themes. In this sense‚ The Dead is driven far more by an investigation of characters’ motivations‚ emotions and reactions‚ and the continued development thereof‚ than it is by plot.
