Although there are many musical allusions to unpack in “The Dead” I want to focus on the impact of “The Lass of Aughrim” on Gabriel, his wife Gretta, and, in a larger sense, the theme of Irish identity in Dubliners.

The second is “Eveline”, one of the fifteen stories written in the 20th century by James Joyce under the heading Dubliners. “Eveline” is about a young woman named Eveline who cannot decide whether to continue living in patriarchal Dublin, or to escape with…

Music is a standout amongst the most vital and intense things throughout my life. My existence without songs and harmonies would be absolutely unfilled.
