The Dead (Part Four)
Alone in their hotel room, Gabriel find his wife swept up in the memory of a past love. Looking out the window, he watches the snow falling all over Ireland and has an epiphany.
Naturalistic in style, 'Dubliners' depicts an array of characters, graduating progressively from childhood, through adolescence, to maturity, culminating in the final story, 'The Dead'. The stories each centre on the idea of a moment of epiphany, but are grounded in the minutiae of daily life. Stories of love, loss, con men, friendship, alcoholism, marriage, politics and family, combine to create a unified world, a celebration of a city, in the unparalleled prose of its most famous son.
