Guide Note

Dubliners by James Joyce is a collection of fifteen short stories. The stories reflect the Irish nationalism of the time and the search for national identity. One of the main themes of the stories is epiphany which is contrasted against paralysis. The characters struggle against restrictive and repetitive routines that lead to loneliness and unrequited love, but the characters are not able to escape from their mundane lives. Many of the characters also appear in Joyce's novel Ulysses.
