He is can also speak in relation to this story on emigration in Ireland of century principles, which started since 1945 by poor harvests, taking America as a destination. These migrations were notable until 1929, which were reduced by the great depression.
Linking the history of Eveline with the life of its author, that migration occurred due to the lack of hope and opportunities.
THE AUTHOR THAT SOUGHT WITH THE BOOK?
James Joyce was an important writer in the century xx, the one wanted that the romanticism was a form to know that in some situations people should choose road between two. Eveline had two roads to choose. She prefers to go with their family; she didn't have words to explain their answer. She wanted to leave with him, but she was thinking of their family. She should be pending of their family and her he/she didn't want to have a better life. This history represents the romanticism but also the ant romanticism because Eveline was not sure of its feelings. She in some moments was happy but she decided to live their life as always.
