The Dublin represented by Joyce is not fixed and static, it is “ the revolutionary montage of ‘Dublins’ through a range of historical juxtapositions and varied styles ”. The 15 stories of the Dubliners, though set in the same city, are not united by their geography: each story has a singular location. James Joyce 4. Dublin Only Connect... New Directions Dublin

James Joyce 4. Dublin The evocation of his town in A Portrait is deeply influenced by Joyce’s prolonged temporal and spatial distance; Dublin is filtered through Stephen’s mind. In Ulysses, Dublin overwhelms the reader. Dublin Only Connect... New Directions

Use of epiphany  “the sudden spiritual manifestation” of an interior reality. Themes  paralysis and escape. Absence of a didactic and moral aim because of the impersonality of the artist. Only Connect... New Directions

Joyce’s aim  to take the reader beyond the usual aspects of life through epiphany. James Joyce 8. Dubliners: epiphany It is the special moment in which a trivial gesture, an external object or a banal situation or an episode lead the character to a sudden self-realisation about himself / herself or about the reality surrounding him / her. Understanding the epiphany in each story is the key to the story itself Only Connect... New Directions
