the boarding house
In the short story The Boarding House written by James Joyce, I do not think that the ending concludes the story. Throughout the story the narrator is fairly vague about all of his descriptions. Many of the main characters emotions, feelings and motivations are described, however at the same time the conversations between the characters are not explained and no detail is revealed at all about what they say to each other. This is very interesting and this leads me to my feeling that there is no conclusion at the end of the story. I think that this story is fairly different from the other stories we have read simply because in all the other stories we seem to get attached to one character if not the other. In this story James Joyce does not let us get attached to anyone because we do not really know them on a personal note. The characters in this story are one-dimensional. Some might even go as far as saying the characters are flat. Throughout the story they do not grow at all, we get small flashes of who they are and then nothing for the rest of the story. The main characters in the story are, the mother; Mrs. Mooney, the daughter; Polly Mooney, and the lover; Mr. Doran. In brief, the story is about a woman
She becomes involved with one of the guests, Mr. Mooney and Polly have been conspiring together. Doran gets called into the office Polly is sitting on the bed and crying. My belief is that she stepped in because she thinks that her daughter has become pregnant and has to do something about it. They are both responsible for the problem they are in. Doran, and the story goes from there. It does not say this in the story however there are a number of instances where it is somewhat possible. Doran worry about what they are to do, and then when Mr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. This is a conflict because she has stepped in for one reason or another. Mooney lets this little fling go on for a short time however she then steps in. However all this is inferred and throughout the story not all that much happens.
