Write a short essay (1-2 par.) with references to at least one particular story from James Joyce’s Dubliners. Consider to the following portion of a letter Joyce sent to his publisher Grant Richards in May 1906. Each story concludes with an epiphany, a religious term Joyce secularized to suggest a kind of sudden realization. Discuss the epiphany in the story or stories you write about.
“My intention was to write a chapter of the moral history of my country and I chose Dublin for the scene because that city seemed to me the centre of paralysis. I have tried to present it to the indifferent public under four of its aspects: childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life. The stories are arranged in this order. I have written it for the most part in a style of scrupulous meanness and with the conviction that he is a very bold man who dares to alter in the presentment, still more to deform, whatever he has seen and heard.”
