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.

The idea from this passage that can be analyzed from both feminist and historical perspectives is this:

  • How a woman could be considered "proper" in this culture during this period.
<h3 /><h3>What is feminism?</h3>

Feminism is an ideology that holds that women in a society should have equal rights with their male counterparts. From this text, we can see that a woman in the cultural period shown had to attain some level to be considered proper. This is not in tandem with the precepts of feminism. So, option A is correct.

The idea that is expressed in this text is quite similar to those found in patriarchal settings. A typical African society is described in this text and the expectations from women are clearly represented here. Ugoye Nweke is the admirable girl whom the speaker believes has been brought with the Christian doctrines and thus possesses the right qualities of a wife.
