Description:
Fifteen stories present working-class people in turn-of-the-century Dublin. The unified artistic collection emphasizes grim realities: human limitations, unfulfilled longings, societal paralysis, disappointments, and insights. The texts emphasize traps that prevent fulfillment and self-actualization. Dubliners challenges us to choose life, not to succumb to pettiness and moral paralysis.
Activities:
Students analyze individual stories and synthesize recurring themes and motifs. They also apply tools of fiction; discover epiphanies; examine plot, character, point of view, setting, and stylistic devices; and consider aspects of James Joyce’s literary style and his use of the grotesque.
Supplementary materials include culminating activities and quizzes with answer keys.
