Joyce tells the story in third-person point of view。 In the first paragraph, the narrator reports from a distance, as if he is sitting across the room from Eveline。 In the second paragraph, the narrator enters the mind of Eveline and reports the rest of the story from there, revealing the thoughts of the title character as she considers whether to remain home or go to Argentina to marry。 She reviews the events of her life, comparing the quality of her life in Dublin over the years with the quality of life she believes she would have in Buenos Aires。

First of all, I have found out the background information and get a brief idea of Eveline’s characteristics, and then analyze from different aspects。

Another problem lies in that there are not so many paper materials about Eveline in the library。 As a result, I have to search for lots of websites to download the materials referred both in Chinese and English, and then try my best to choose the relevant materials through comparison。 I may have to translate the Chinese into English if necessary。
