James joyce the dead text5/30/2023 In what many consider one of Joyce's most nuanced and well-written works, the story centers around Gabriel Conroy, his evening attending a Christmas dinner party hosted by his elderly aunts, and the experiences of his wife and various friends. Like many of Joyce's tales in the collection, "The Dead" features a transformative epiphany, where a character experiences a sudden insight into their life that changes the way they see everything. First published in 1904, the stories aim to capture Irish middle class life as it really was around Dublin at the turn-of-the-century. "The Dead" is the final and longest story in the "Dubliners", a collection of fifteen short stories by James Joyce.
