Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories written by James Joyce. First published in 1914, James Joyce describes life in Dublin in the early 20th century, while telling an interesting and compelling story. This blog will have a brief biography of Joyce and will go into great detail about two of the stories in the book, The Boarding House and Araby. All the stories take place in Dublin, but the characters and plots do not connect or interweave throughout the book. While the first three books are told in first person, the last 12 are in third person. Each story has a unique and intriguing plot, but most of them tend to leave the reader hanging at the very end. These stories let the reader connect with the characters, their situation and their life. Each story featured in this blog, The Boarding House and Araby will analyze the characters and the main themes of the story. Have fun exploring and learning!
