Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg (Lehrstuhl fr Anglistik), language: English, abstract: In the following text I would like to give an approach to the paralysis of the main character in James Joyce's short story Eveline. In doing so, I will take a look at the origin and the consequences of her paralysis and the different roles she has to play as a woman. In addition I'm going to examine the relationships that she has to the people in her closer environment i. e. her father and her "lover" Frank.
