초록

This paper analyzes James Joyce’s “Eveline” focusing on its main narrative technique, Free Indirect Discourse(FID). Eveline, the eponymous heroine of the story, struggles to escape her oppressive situation. Her father has ruled her life for as long as she can remember, just as England has ruled the life of Ireland. However, she is not able to take the final step to escape, but instead remains fixed. Eveline’s story reflects the mental paralysis that many women of early twentieth-century Ireland suffered from. To reveal the inertia of Eveline, Joyce uses FID, one of the main narrative styles he used from his early career as a writer. FID is mixed in between Direct Discourse and Indirect Discourse, using the third-person pronoun and past tense with deictics indicating the present. FID also merges the character’s voice and the narrator’s voice. In the presentation of the character’s thought, the mixing and merging of the two voices acquire a conscious quality. As the narrative progresses, subtle interaction and struggle between the two voices in FID enables readers to recognize that Eveline is mentally paralyzed. Simultaneously, readers come to be seized with a sudden epiphanic awakening that they are also paralyzed, mentally and morally, like Eveline and Ireland itself, which is the intended aesthetic effect of FID used by Joyce here.

Abstract

This paper analyzes James Joyce’s “Eveline” focusing on its main narrative technique, Free Indirect Discourse(FID). Eveline, the eponymous heroine of the story, struggles to escape her oppressive situation. Her father has ruled her life for as long as she can remember, just as England has ruled the life of Ireland. However, she is not able to take the final step to escape, but instead remains fixed. Eveline’s story reflects the mental paralysis that many women of early twentieth-century Ireland suffered from. To reveal the inertia of Eveline, Joyce uses FID, one of the main narrative styles he used from his early career as a writer. FID is mixed in between Direct Discourse and Indirect Discourse, using the third-person pronoun and past tense with deictics indicating the present. FID also merges the character’s voice and the narrator’s voice. In the presentation of the character’s thought, the mixing and merging of the two voices acquire a conscious quality. As the narrative progresses, subtle interaction and struggle between the two voices in FID enables readers to recognize that Eveline is mentally paralyzed. Simultaneously, readers come to be seized with a sudden epiphanic awakening that they are also paralyzed, mentally and morally, like Eveline and Ireland itself, which is the intended aesthetic effect of FID used by Joyce here.
