THE SISTERS


20/72

The Sisters: Literal Meaning

Experience of losing someone through

the eyes of a child


21/72

The Sisters: Figurative Meaning

The unnamed boy

Young, probably 7 to 10 years old (page 2, 10)

Thinks of himself as more mature than he really is

(page 3) Taught things that are too complex for his mind

Unable to grasp or understand things fully

Unable to grasp or understand Father Flynns

strange actions

But still grows closer to him despite these actions


22/72


In his dream, the boys reference of

Father Flynn as it instead of he

(page 3)

Maleficent and sinful being: Could

this be Father Flynn? (page 1)


23/72


Father Flynn hadvery strange habitsthat made him feeluneasy before I

knew him too well(page 5)

The closerelationshipbetween FatherFlynn and theunnamed boy(perhaps tooclose)


24/72


Father Flynn

Disappointed Man (page 9)

What in his life, priesthood, made him so

disappointed? Strange actions around the boy

Trembling Hands, Strange Smiles (page 4and 5 respectively)

Owned discolored garments (page 4) Being unclean, and failing to clean himself

over and over again


25/72


Teaching things that are too complex for the

boy to understand (page 1)

Shows the priests sadistic nature, probably

due to repression Breakage of Chalice: Started the Priests

downfall (page 10)

Literally: Chalice being shattered

Figuratively: Father Flynn taking the boys

virginity (chalice as a sign of purity, being

broken)


26/72


Something has gone wrong with him (too

much to bear for him)

As a priest, having sexual relations with a

boy (with taking his virginity as the climax ofthis relationship)

Repressing the feelings for the boy every

time he was with him

Father Flynn was not what society expected

him to be, hence his being disappointed at his

life


27/72

The Sisters: Point of View

In the eyes of the unnamed boy

Innocence, being nave

Not being able to distinguish between right

and wrong

Having sexual relations with a priest

Can also be James Joyce himself

As most of his works are indirectlyautobiographical

James Joyce was educated by priests


28/72

The Sisters: Title Analysis

Peculiar, the story discusses the perceived

brotherhood between Father Flynn and the

unnamed boy

Freud: women, actions guided by emotions Father Flynn, and the boy; their actions being

guided by their emotions

Based on Freuds principles, the title could mean

the sisterly relationship between Father Flynn

and the boy


29/72

The Sisters: Final Words

Symbolisms

Father Flynn = some members of the Catholic

Church

Not as good as what people think them to be Hinder the growth of the young, and the new

society

The unnamed boy = the young and the new society

Being formed in the image of the old society Unnamed, as the young and the new are yet to

form their own identity


30/72

ARABY


31/72

Araby: Plot


32/72

Araby: Literal Meaning

Sexual Awareness

Feelings for the Opposite Sex

Epiphany: Romantic Love? I pressed the palms of my hand

together until they trembled,

murmuring: Oh love, oh love manytimes


33/72

Araby: Literal Meaning

Loss of Innocence

Gazing up into the darkness I saw

myself as a creature driven and derided

by vanity; and my eyes burned with

anguish and anger


34/72
