“Her eyes gave him no
sign of love or farewell or recognition,” (Joyce 222). Eveline cannot escape her family. She cannot escape herself either. Her
childhood friends played in the fields and always were on the look out for the
owner of the property. She has a lonely
life. Her one brother is died and the other works in the country all the
time. Her father I not a kind man and has
violent tendencies. The story has a
disconnected tranquil tone. Nothing
actually happens. She almost leaves but
at the last moment cannot. Her life has
slowly eaten away her will. She feels a
need to stay and look after the kids but wants to leave the town and live her
own life.
