James Joyce was one of the modernist writers. His efforts and works made fiction writing a modern form and helped the revolutionary of modern writings. Many of his books are written about Dublin, as he was originally from Ireland. Dublin was the place he knew best. He believed that by speaking of Dublin he was “penetrating at the same time the heart of all cities and of all humanity”. In “Dubliners,” which is a collection of 15 stories, many modernist elements are recognizable. We can think of these stories on two levels. At the first level, it shows us the difficulties and sufferings of women, children and the horrible life of an individual in the 20th century, which can be considered realistic too. On the second level, Joyce shows us the reality of human nature. One of the stories is called “Eveline”. She is alone. She works very hard in a store and also at home. His mother is dead and he has to take care of his brother as well as his father, even though he is not nice to her. There is no one to protect her. She is going to leave Ireland with a sailor she loves. His name is Frank. Anyway, her father does not allow her to marry Frank. She loves her father and regrets the idea of ​​leaving him. Sometimes she remembers her mother's death and the promise she made to her to "keep the home together." But at the station, she realizes that she cannot make a decision. Frank calls her and tries to get her on the board. But she looks at him as if he were a stranger. The story ends and leaves the reader to finish the story in their own way. As his Histories show us, Dublin suffers from a poor social condition. There is no moral hope and relationships are frozen. All of them combine with each other and prevent the characters from any change. Evel... middle of paper... and no one remembers it. This is why he follows art and theater; to be immortal in people's minds. He then accepted university studies and developed many strong relationships. He rejects all bonds and limitations of society and lives freely as an artist. Joyce uses imagery in the story. He uses imagery to reveal his patterns and symbols. Wet, dry, cold or hot are obvious images found in the text. One aspect of modernism is symbolism. One of the obvious symbols is the name Stephen. We can see the association of Stephen's feeling with flight. When he looks at the sky and wonders “what birds were they?” he sees his own aspects in the birds. They represent the distant future that Stephen expects. Music is a constant motif in the story and is Stephen's fundamental desire for art. However, each part of the story conveys a different meaning..
