James Joyce's Dubliners

In James Joyce’s, Dubliners, we get to catch a glimpse into the great world of Irish culture and heritage. Joyce explores many issues that confronted the Irish at the turn of the century. The constant struggle to keep money in the pocket; be a good Catholic, men and their excessive drinking, and the struggle of keeping the inner family bound together is what we see through the window painted by Joyce. His stories illustrate …

…overcome the disappointments in life and learn from their moral lessons. Joyce explores the changing times and people of Dublin in the early 1900’s. The stories are a portrait of the times and Joyce was not a popular man for showing them how they actually were. The novel has given me a better understanding of the times and people of Ireland. Its also has sparked an interest in finding out more about my Irish heritage.
