The Dead by James Joyce — Review


The story "The Dead" is the last in the book "The Dubliners" by the most prominent Irish writer James Joyce. The author shows in this work the inner world of Irish people. Readers watch on as one emotion replaces another.

 

In the centre of the story is a Christmas ball, which is given by three sisters, ladies of mature age, to whom relatives and friends have gathered. The story takes place during one evening.  


Through the title of the story "The Dead" the author attributes it to the stage of human existence.
