Dubliners (Annotated)

By: Joyce, James

Differentiated book-It has a historical context with research of the timeJoyce seems to tell us with these stories that there is no possible salvation for her Dubliners. The characters are locked in an overwhelming routine and in a world of repetitive details that mark their daily lives. In Duplicates, one of the best stories, the protagonist is a chupatintas that is dedicated to copy documents. His problem is the inability to realize the circularity of his days. There is no part of his life that can serve as an escape route; his work is boring, terribly monotonous, and his relationship with his colleagues is difficult; His departures to go to the pub only leads him to repeat the same daily gestures. Anger and rage will accumulate inside him, until they finally explode when he arrives at his house, precisely against the most innocent being.The circularity of the lives of Dubliners catches them in such a way that prevents them from being receptive to new experiences and happiness. Finally, the consequences of the routine will be loneliness and unrequited love. It is curious that love only appears in two stories and always tinged with nostalgia. If death will be the only messenger that will bring from the beyond feelings that seemed forgotten, it will be the memory of love that inspires a little relief from the hearts, not love itself.
