About James Joyce

 In So far, we have learned about James Joyce through ‘the Sisters’, ‘Arabi’ and ‘Eveline’. When I read these short stories in order, the first thing I thought about was that the characters that make up these stories are slowly growing. There was a little boy and a boy who grew up little more and fell in love with the girl next door and a lady with the sailor. In this context, if I read more stories in the future, I expect that character in the story will grow and finally deal with the death of one person. In addition, reading James Joyce's stories, I began to think that all the dramatic and exaggerated stories are not shown in James Joyce’s stories and rather it seemed to deal with something more realistic and this made me to understand stories easier. Of course, the background itself is not the same, but there are less dramatic parts, so I was able to smoothly continue reading it from the middle of the story. When I looked at the title of the book, I saw a lot of Dublin people, and I heard a lot of Ireland as the background. I was wondering what this meant. James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland. Rather than being full of energy, I felt a lot of gloom in the story. I thought that the gloomy feeling that James Joyce had expressed in his short stories was to show the gloom of his native Ireland. How would the story have changed if James Joyce had been born not in Ireland but in a country that was in the opposite position? In this way, it would be interesting to compare James Joyce's position on one subject, and if there are stories born in a different position and written from the opposite position of James joyce, it would be interesting to read them.(311 words)
