    The Archetypes in “Eveline”

    • Star crossed lovers- “the young couple joined


    by love but unexpectedly parted by fate”
    • The initiation- “The process by which a
    character is brought into another sphere of
    influence, usually (in literature) into
    adulthood”
    • Water- “Water is a symbol of life, cleansing,
    and rebirth”
    Star Crossed Lovers:
    Eveline vs. Romeo and Juliet
    • Romeo and Frank are both fickle
    • Eveline and Juliet are the “forbidden loves”
    • Dubliners- “She set her white face to him,
    passive, like a helpless animal”
    – Different type of death
    – Romeo died when he heard Juliet was dead
    Water
    • Water- symbol of rebirth, of cleansing
    • Frank sails away while Eveline stays in Dublin
    Initiation
    • Eveline is faced with a very difficult choice, but
    is unable to decide because of Dubliner
    paralysis
    • Seen in other Dubliner stories, but here, her
    whole life is decided.
