"Eveline" is a short story written by James Joyce, part of his collection titled Dubliners. The narrative follows a young woman named Eveline Hill, who struggles with her responsibilities at home and her desire for a new life. She reflects on her past, particularly her promise to her dying mother to keep the family together. As she contemplates leaving Dublin with her lover, Frank, Eveline faces an internal conflict between her duty to her family and her longing for freedom. Ultimately, she is paralyzed by fear and uncertainty, leading her to make a choice that keeps her trapped in her familiar, yet suffocating, environment.
