EVELINE James Joyce

This is another good example of short stories. Introduction: Eveline is watching out of the window. She is tired. Toward Climax: She wonders whether to stay or to escape to Buenos Ayres with Frank. Resolution: She grips with both hands at the iron railing and refuses to go with him. I identified myself with Eveline and wondered which course to take. The ending is impressive: “She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.”
