초록

This study examines James Joyce’s “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” to shed light on how Dublin women express socioeconomic deprivation through their attempts to secure food, signifying a paralyzed patriarchy. Joyce's female characters in Dubliners try to appease their psychological anxiety with food, anxiety caused by social and economic insecurities. In early 20th-century Ireland, most Irish women were not only largely excluded from education but also had limited opportunities for employment. For these reasons, economic independence for women is nearly impossible when they face socioeconomic crises. Therefore, women share a yearning for a male patriarch and express this desire as an irrepressible desire for food. In “Eveline,” Eveline Hill seeks socioeconomic security through marriage. Her situation is not exceptional, even in the case of the very independent Mrs. Mooney in "The Boarding House," who attempts to replace her ineffective husband with her son-in-law in the role of the family's patriarch through her daughter's marriage. For these women, the patriarch is as essential as food itself because he provides food. We can observe that food plays a crucial role in the process of finding a new patriarch for Eveline and Mrs. Mooney in Dubliners.

Abstract

This study examines James Joyce’s “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” to shed light on how Dublin women express socioeconomic deprivation through their attempts to secure food, signifying a paralyzed patriarchy. Joyce's female characters in Dubliners try to appease their psychological anxiety with food, anxiety caused by social and economic insecurities. In early 20th-century Ireland, most Irish women were not only largely excluded from education but also had limited opportunities for employment. For these reasons, economic independence for women is nearly impossible when they face socioeconomic crises. Therefore, women share a yearning for a male patriarch and express this desire as an irrepressible desire for food. In “Eveline,” Eveline Hill seeks socioeconomic security through marriage. Her situation is not exceptional, even in the case of the very independent Mrs. Mooney in "The Boarding House," who attempts to replace her ineffective husband with her son-in-law in the role of the family's patriarch through her daughter's marriage. For these women, the patriarch is as essential as food itself because he provides food. We can observe that food plays a crucial role in the process of finding a new patriarch for Eveline and Mrs. Mooney in Dubliners.
