초록
Reviving and representing the concept of agora, a central space for the politics, economy, and religion of ancient Greek city-states, this paper claims that Joyce in Dubliners and Ulysses evaluates the limitations and possibilities of Ireland as an emerging nation through the citizens’ interactions in agora. Focusing on this public space’s role for communication, the paper pays attention to the kinds and characters of communication especially in “Eveline” and “Wandering Rocks.” In the former story, Eveline is occupied in her uncommunicable concern of whether or not she has to leave Ireland, yet her agoraphobia ultimately ends her communication with others, especially with Frank who she regards as a possible savior from her stifling situation. The citizens in “Wandering Rocks” do not show such physical symptoms of agoraphobia as Eveline; however, their consciousness and communication still expose what obstructs themselves from intellectual development. The pretentious and uncharitable attitude of Dubliners, perhaps except for foreign Bloom and female Molly, marks their communication everywhere and develops a false community in this episode. Molly and Bloom, in contrast, open up possibilities for building an ideal community through the act of charity, which is particularly emphasized in this episode.
Abstract
Reviving and representing the concept of agora, a central space for the politics, economy, and religion of ancient Greek city-states, this paper claims that Joyce in Dubliners and Ulysses evaluates the limitations and possibilities of Ireland as an emerging nation through the citizens’ interactions in agora. Focusing on this public space’s role for communication, the paper pays attention to the kinds and characters of communication especially in “Eveline” and “Wandering Rocks.” In the former story, Eveline is occupied in her uncommunicable concern of whether or not she has to leave Ireland, yet her agoraphobia ultimately ends her communication with others, especially with Frank who she regards as a possible savior from her stifling situation. The citizens in “Wandering Rocks” do not show such physical symptoms of agoraphobia as Eveline; however, their consciousness and communication still expose what obstructs themselves from intellectual development. The pretentious and uncharitable attitude of Dubliners, perhaps except for foreign Bloom and female Molly, marks their communication everywhere and develops a false community in this episode. Molly and Bloom, in contrast, open up possibilities for building an ideal community through the act of charity, which is particularly emphasized in this episode.
