In the short story "Eveline" by James Joyce, Eveline has planned to leave her father's home to marry her fiancé and travel with

him to South America. At the dock, preparing to board the steamer with her fiancé, Eveline is distraught. What is the epiphany that Eveline experiences?
"The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist. If she went, tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank, steaming towards Buenos Ayres. Their passage had been booked. Could she still draw back after all he had done for her? Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer.

A bell clanged upon her heart. She felt him seize her hand:

“Come!”

All the seas of the world tumbled about her heart. He was drawing her into them: he would drown her. She gripped with both hands at the iron railing.

“Come!”

No! No! No! It was impossible. Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy. Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish!

“Eveline! Evvy!”

He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow. He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her. She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.

C. Lizabeth learns that sympathy and understanding come from recognizing the truth about other people.

Explanation:

Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds" takes place during the Great Depression. The main character, Lizabeth, is a 14-year-old girl who lives in a poor neighborhood. The poorest and ugliest of the houses belongs to Miss Lottie, however it is the house that has a most beautiful garden full of marigolds. Lizabeth, her brother, and the other kids in the neighborhood often throw rocks into the garden and call Miss Lottie a witch.

<u>The main theme of the story is about maturing and developing empathy for others. Lizabeth, while throwing a tantrum, completely destroys the garden of marigolds. It is only then that she realizes she was simply projecting her anger about her family's awful situation in life. She is finally able to see that Miss Lottie's garden brings a little bit of beauty into this miserable world, where poor people can only remain poor. Lizabeth leaves her childhood behind when she understands who Miss Lottie is, as well as herself.</u>
