An epiphany is a moment of sudden realization or insight. Almost all humans will lose someone they love at one point in their life, this can lead to an epiphany or enslave you with the “dead”. The thought of having no purpose because you lost something valuable is being “dead”.One example can be found in James Joyce Dubliners Eveline, She dwells on the past, after her mother died she felt depressed (dead) inside she also felt like she had no reason/purpose to stay in Dublin after her mom's passing she had a very melancholy life. This changed Eveline In James Joyce Dubliners Lenehan from Two Gallants deceives woman for a living, he has an epiphany and he states “This Vision made him feel keenly his own poverty of purse and spirit. He was tired of knocking about, pulling the devil by the tail, of shifts and intrigues. He would be thirty-one in November.”(-James Joyce 1914) He makes a realization about his “dead” life and wants to come back to life. A epiphany can help you strive for your goals in life and give your own code to live by not societies. Another example in James Joyce Dubliners is Gabriel from the short story The Dead. Gabriel has an epiphany when his wife told him about Michael Furey and what he did. He says “ His own identity was fading out into a grey impalpable world: the solid world itself, which these dead had one time reared and lived in, was dissolving and dwindling.”(-James Joyce 1914) He was having a deep insight into his cold grey life and this epiphany transformed his life
