ESSAY ON: James Joyce/Power in The Boarding House

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that examines Joyce's short story "The Boarding House" from Dubliners in regards to the use of power. Mrs. Mooney and her adolescent daughter Polly, use the power at their disposal to obtain a desired objective--a husband for Polly. Throughout the story, Joyce builds a picture of both Mrs. Mooney and her daughter as being both manipulative and crafty in the use of power. Examination of this story shows how Joyce systematically redefines the assumptions of his era to define men as ineffectual and powerless and women as emasculating trappers of their sex. No additional sources cited.
