"Eveline" by James Joyce is a story about young woman who longs to escape from the tyranny of her father and from the responsibilities of surrogate motherhood, thrust on her after the death of her own mother. When she is offered an avenue of escape, she discovers that she lacks the spirit, the courage, and the strength of character to take it. The end of the story may show a lot of people in our difficult and tangled world how it is necessary to make a final and brave step without any thoughts of hesitation.
